ISLAMABAD - The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal on Wednesday took notice of the media reports about misuse of authority by Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) officials.

Director General CAA allegedly took a group of friends for a special tour of Nanga Parbat on a PIA plane scheduled for a flight on Tuesday.

DG CAA, Hassan Baig took a group of friends for a special tour of Nanga Parbat on a PIA plane and the tour took place as passengers waited for the plane’s arrival at Skardu airport for their scheduled flight.

The Supreme Court has also taken Suo motu notice of difficulties faced by passengers at Skardu airport and directed CAA and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to submit a report before it within 48 hours.
