Various CAA directorates and branches will also be housed in the tower, along with corporate offices of airlines, a centre for airline bookings, a business centre, seminar and conference rooms, media centres, financial institutions and banks.
In a press release issued here on Friday, Dr. Tahir Masood, the managing director of NESPAK, announced that the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) had hired the firm NESPAK, the renowned consultants of international renown, for the tallest building in the Federal Capital.
This famous structure will eventually top all other buildings in Islamabad in height. In addition to the UBL Building, ISE Tower, and Ufone/PTET Tower on the same avenue, NESPAK has also built the CAA Tower.
The building will house the offices of various CAA cadres and have a covered area of about 1 million square feet. The objective is to create green buildings that are low in carbon footprint, sustainable, water and energy efficient, and have an environmentally friendly design.
Prior to this, CAA and NESPAK entered into a consulting agreement to provide services for multi-story building planning, design, and construction supervision. Khawaja Saad Rafiq, the Federal Minister of Aviation, was present for the agreement signing ceremony, along with Mr. Vikram Sodha, Managing Director NESPAK, Dr. Tahir Masood and Head of NESPAK Islamabad Office, Mr. Danish Raza.
The history and science of aviation are the main topics of an aviation science museum. These museums frequently have displays on the development of aircraft and their technological advancements, as well as the history of flight.
The science of aviation, including the concepts of lift, drag, and aerodynamics, may also be covered in the exhibits. Aircraft on display at many aviation science museums include both vintage and contemporary jets. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the background and current state of aviation should check out these museums.
