The federal minister said while holding a press briefing in Lahore that CAA official was not supposed to speak up publicly before the completion of the inquiry.
“We have sought an explanation from the CAA official. As long as the inquiry report is not finalized, the official in question should not have spoken publicly. Whatever the CAA had to say should have been told to the four-member inquiry board probing the crash”, he said.
The letter written by CAA maintained that the pilot of PK-8303 had ignored repeated assertions by the CAA official that he was coming too fast and the altitude of the plane was too high for the landing. The content of the letter was also reported in the media.
The federal government however believes that the disclosure of the information in public was wrong and the information should have been shared with the 4-member committee currently investigating the causes behind the PK-8303 crash last month.
It is pertinent to mention here that the content of letter corroborates the data publicly available and aviation enthusiasts Moin Abbasi and Shajie Hussain had also made similar observations while talking to Raza Rumi on Naya Daur TV’s Khabar Say Aagay. Watch the video below:
