PAA, PSW to launch digital cargo charges system at Jinnah International Airport

The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) and Pakistan Single Window (PSW) are set to introduce a digital system for collecting Cargo Throughput Charges (CTC) at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, starting August 27. This shift from manual and paper-based processes will be facilitated through electronic payments and automated verification.

The collaboration was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by Abdul Basit, Director Commercial for the PAA, and Naveed Abbas Memon, Chief Domain Officer for PSW. The new system aims to streamline the CTC payment process, integrating it with the PSW platform, thereby eliminating the need for manual paperwork, bank visits, and long queues.

This move towards digitalization aligns with the government's digitalization policies and is a significant step in modernizing Pakistan's air cargo ecosystem, thereby enhancing trade efficiency and transparency.
