Pia spokesperson said, "The sim, the 1st of its kind in the region, will raise the training standards of 100s of Pak pilots and save valuable forex.”
The simulator would lead to safer training and cost savings for the local airlines, as they have to spend a significant amount of money on training their pilots overseas.
