Caretaker Minister for Defence Salim Abbas Jilani Wednesday said the Gwadar Airport project would be completed by August 2010 at a cost of Rs 7,885 million.
In a written reply to question raised by Muhammad Ismail Buledi in the Senate, he said after the completion of planning and designing process the physical execution of Gwadar Airport project is scheduled to start in March this year.

To another question, he said PIA has implemented nominal fuel surcharge keeping in view continuous increase in fuel prices and operational cost due to inflationary pressure.

The Minister said PIA has implemented Revenue Management System from June 2007 to provide a competitive pricing structure to its customers and optimize the revenue generation opportunities by effective demand management.

Under the system, he said the pricing structure provides extremely competitive fares in various nested classes in the low season and gradually increases the fare levels in line with increasing market demand.

He said there is no proposal to increase the number of flights from various cities of Balochistan to Islamabad.

Salim Abbas said PIA’s reservation system is capable of pre-allocating seats to passengers on all domestic and international flights up to 6 hours prior to departure.

He said female passengers can also avail this facility at the time of reservation, if travelling together. However, single female passenger may also request to be seated with other female passengers at the time of check-in, subject to availability.

The Minister said there is no restriction on private sector airlines to operate in the Northern Areas and they can commence as many number of flights as they desire based on their commercial viability.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in.
