Executive Summary:
The General Aviation means the all of flight which are other than the scheduled flight are refer as the general aviation. The flight range of general aviation is very vast and includes many activities. Due to increase in these activities a country economy can be increase and paly very important roles in the future development of any country. This is the part of aviation industry not whole aviation.
If we take a look on the general aviation activities in past before the independence of Pakistan the general aviation activities is almost equal to zero and after the independence Pakistan owns only two flying academy which are Karachi aero club (1928) and the Lahore flying club (1930) and offer only the flying training activities. After the independence Pakistan cope up with the deficiencies to encourage the general aviation industry by the establishment of charter services, flying clubs and other activities or in other word we can say that Pakistan starts the general aviation industry from the zero.
With the hard work and the encouragement of regulatory body for the private sector to enhance the potential of General Aviation in Pakistan now there are 31 registered companies by Pakistan civil aviation authority are working as general aviation operator. They are serving almost all areas of Pakistan and also operate and provide the services which includes Aerial services, Flying trainings, Passenger charter, services cargo, charter services, Recreational services, Air Ambulance, Search and rescue, Gliding in north of Pakistan, Aerial firefighting, Photography, Crop dusting, Aviation sports, Sightseeing services, Logging, Incest control, Personal transportation, Taxi operations and tail branding
All these mention services are currently available in Pakistan and for the future growth of general aviation industry the policy is launched by PCAA. This policy is about the all aspects of aviation industry in Pakistan according to the current condition. In the policy they encourage the private partnerships to promotes the general aviation activities and functionalize the remote areas with the help of general aviation activities. They define
23 some of them as a socio-economic route and provide different privileges and concession for the general aviation operators.
The government also minimize the taxes and the airport charges for the general aviation local operators and clearly define that they must provide all assistance at free of cost for the promotion of general aviation activities. The government plans to increase the more general aviation activities in all regions in future and also focus one the agribusiness for the private partnerships.
The current scenario is quite better than the past condition of General aviation activities in Pakistan but there is also room for improvement the by the help of a short survey the problem found which are facing general aviation operators. These problem includes the poor infrastructure for the general aviation, implementation of policies cannot be done through proper channel, the facility of night flying at Walton Aerodrome is not provide by the related authorities and the most important one is the standard of safety and security is not follow properly.

Introduction:
General Aviation is the operation of civil aviation activities which are other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations this may be include the charter services for business purpose also for joy rides. It also include the flying trainings and other aviation related activity which are scheduled air services and non- scheduled air transport operations. This project is prepared to bring awareness about General Aviation (GA) in Pakistan. The main purpose is to know what development is being carried out in general aviation Pakistan. The another reason of this project is to highlight the problems which are currently facing by General aviation operator in Pakistan this project clearly define these problems and solution for how to overcome thesis problems to promote the potential of general aviation in Pakistan. If we compare Pakistan to other countries in General aviation than we can see Pakistan is so far from others. By the help of this research project we can find out the core problems by which General aviation in Pakistan is so far from other countries. Not only commercial aviation the general aviation also affects the country’s economy. This research project analyzed the current growth of Pakistan general aviation and also analysis the number of general aviation operator and their services and the potential how they can be best in the field of general aviation and they contribute in the economy of Pakistan. This project also analyzed the strength, weakness, opportunities and the threats which they facing (SWOT ANALYSIS). This project is structured first about the history of general Aviation before partition of India and Pakistan and the current scenario which includes the general aviation operators the brief detail about their services and products. This project is also about the complete detail about NAP 2015 policy in light of General Aviation industry and its effects on the future growth of general aviation and the problem which are facing by the general aviation operator in Pakistan. At the last but not least recommendations in light of these problems to overcome the problem and safe and smooth growth of Pakistan General aviation industry.
25
Background:
The history of General Aviation in Pakistan starts from before the independence of Pakistan. Before the independence there are only few flying clubs serving as General aviation activities and after partition the financial condition was not so good that’s why there was no development in the sector of aviation industry the and only two flying club owned by Pakistan was Karachi aero club which was founded in 1928 and Lahore Flying club this Flying club was founded in 1930 with the name of Punjab flying club and later in 1932 it was named as northern Indian flying club and after partition Pakistan government changed the name as Lahore flying club and operate at Walton airport which was established in with the establishment of northern India flying club. After partition Walton aerodrome serve as the airport for airline also used in World War second by military. After that with the establishment of Allama Iqbal International Airport Walton aerodrome is use for the general Aviation activities under the supervision of Pakistan civil aviation authority. After the independence of Pakistan the development in general aviation activities slightly increased by coming new flying clubs (Peshawar flying club) and with involvement of aircraft for the agriculture purpose but no big development were there because of unawareness and shortage of the aviation personnel in the aviation industry of Pakistan. With the passage of time Pakistan own his National carrier PIA and on the other side the flying clubs offers new services like charter flights search and rescues by the Askari aviation and the number of flying club increased in different cities which includes Multan, Rawalpindi, Karachi and some other cities. Now the condition of General Aviation in Pakistan is quite better than the past but there is a room for lot of development which needs to be done. Now governments also encourage the General aviation activities by introducing such a policy in National Aviation policy to eliminate the barriers for new entrance.
While undertaking this project the main problem faced is to search the history of General aviation in Pakistan because the was no research done by anyone to highlight these problem which are facing todays the Pakistan general Aviation this is because of
26 less knowledge about the general aviation and there are no proper platform or a channel to promote the General Aviation activities.
