Upadated on: 30 Nov 10 11:59 AM

ISLAMABAD: Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has imposed a ban on all flights of Russian planes from Pakistan's airports on Tuesday. The decision was made as a result of the Russian cargo plane crash near Dalmia, Karachi late Saturday night.

CAA sources told the media that instructions regarding the ban imposed on the flights of Russian planes have been sent to the administration of all main airports. Four Russian planes will remain grounded at airports until new orders are issued. The staff of these planes is allowed to stay in Pakistan, if it wants.

According to international aviation rules, no plane will be stopped from landing in Pakistan, but take-off can be banned.

This type of Ban is not for all planes made in Russia..But for planes operated and owned by Russian airlines.

The tankers are Russian made but operated by PAF,so the ban does not apply to them.
