Karachi: The authority has floated international tenders for the procurement of the helicopter. Officials of the provincial government told The Express Tribune that Rs 1.6 billion have been allocated for the new helicopter. It would have the seating capacity for 17 people and would bear a minimum of 600 kilogrammes at the time of take-off. \r\n“Since we don’t have our own helicopter, we borrow it from the navy or the Askari Aviation of Pakistan Army Trust,” a finance department official told The Express Tribune. “If we hire a helicopter from private firms, it costs us more than Rs 0.3 million per day.” |
