PAA, PSW ink MoU to digitise CTC collection

Business Recorder reported that the Pakistan Airports Authority and Pakistan Single Window have formalised an agreement to take the handling of cargo throughput charges on air freight online. The MoU links these payments to the PSW platform, which will replace paper-based and manual steps with a fully electronic process. Under the arrangement, payments can be made electronically, documents are checked automatically, and collections become visible in real time to stakeholders.

The digital system for CTC collection is scheduled to start operating at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi on August 27. The MoU was signed by Abdul Basit, Director Commercial at PAA, and Naveed Abbas Memon, Chief Domain Officer at PSW.

Officials said the change should reduce paperwork, cut bank visits and queues, and make the collection process more transparent and efficient.
