ISLAMABAD: Muhammad Fayyaz, the resident of Arifwala from Pakpattan district, received his homemade plane back from the police authorities on Thursday.
Fayyaz, a popcorn seller and a security guard by profession, with his savings and a bank loan of Rs50,000 made a small aircraft.

The plane was returned to him on the direction of DPO Pakpattan Maria Mahmood. Fayyaz expressed his pleasure on getting his plane back.

Naseem Ahmed, a CAA expert, earlier told Geo News that the CAA laws are very much clear that Pakistani airspace cannot be used by any air machine without due permission.
“There needs to be approval. It’s for their own good for their safety. What if God forbid the plane crashes with any building. Ignorance cannot be used as an excuse,” he added.
