British Department for Transport (DfT) has approved the request of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) for the provision of 3DS modern system for scrutiny of travel documents of the passengers.

The request was forwarded by PIA CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik to the British DfT for 3DS modern system which will assist the authorities for scrutinising the travel documents. A team of British Dft will arrive on a three-day visit to Islamabad on Monday.

In November last year, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) had introduced modern technology to facilitate passengers for getting rid of huge queues to get their boarding passes at airports.
