The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has suggested lifting the ban on in-flight meal services for passengers imposed during the second wave of coronavirus pandemic.

The authority wrote a letter to Aviation Division on Wednesday, recommending to lift the ban as the authority’s efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic have been successful. The letter further asked the Aviation Division to seek approval from the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) in this regard.

The precedent was set by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) in November last year when it halted the meal service on domestic routes to limit interaction between passengers and crew members under the reviewed standard operating procedures (SOPs). The idea was soon picked up by the Civil Aviation Authority that directed all airlines to follow the protocol.
