Sir, The world’s commercial aviation industry is facing a crisis of increasing losses and partial grounding of their fleet because of travel restrictions imposed by COVID19. Airlines all over the world have resorted to voluntary employee Furlough Schemes or Leave Without Pay and in some cases retrenchment of staff. While States with a Welfare System are providing their citizens with basic medical coverage and cash relief dole outs etc. , there is no effective Welfare State Concept in Pakistan, although Quaid promised that it will be a modern democratic welfare state. This verdict of lack of capability by CAA has been imposed by ICAO, after the Aviation Minister, PIA and CAA mishandled the unfortunate tragic crash of Pk8303, an A320 on May 22.
