ABSTRACTS:
Liberalization, taxes and duty exemptions, emphasis on education, investor friendly environment,
safety and security assurance, and above all, travel and business friendly culture was the strategic
direction that Pakistan's National Aviation Policy anticipated to achieve. Well after a year of
promulgation, poor internal and external stakeholder buy-in of the policy continues to mar
expectations of the industry’s stability, growth, and prosperity. This presentation critically looks at
stakeholder apprehensions and suggests possible remedial measures that may be adopted for a
course correction.
Keywords: Aviation policy; Pakistan; liberalization; stakeholder buy-in.
