Chapter 4: The Internship Project

The principal accomplishment of the whole internship is the internship study, which assesses and

analyzes the interns' comprehension of the topics that were learned during the internship. Tasks

are worthwhile in all agencies, but the initiative is related to the most operating department,

which makes it a department of major significance so the main appraisal is built around the

particular project carried out in that department, with an internal department having to settle on

the primary role to concentrate on all tasks and functions. It can be viewed as the most

significant contribution to the career life of a student during the internship.

4.1. Project Title


Critical assessment of Import regulation and restrictions at AIIA, PCAA, Lahore, Pakistan

4.2. Project Description


The project was carried out as a team-based collaboration, however, team- members were asked

to perform research in a specific domain and present the field alone, so that everyone could keep

up with the work of other members and exchange knowledge about their research field so that

everyone could contribute to the exchanging of ideas and information about all themselves. The

groups were randomly created of four to fünf participants, 4 of whom included boys and girls, 4

of which were boys and 2 were girls and a total of 2 were girls like me. The groups were made

flexible to improve learning abilities and strengthen students' confidence and communication

skills to properly communicate with one another. There was no language difference and it was

not difficult to share field-related knowledge because of the same aviation origin. The

community was also established in such a way that two mentors facilitated contact and the

relationship between opposite genders.


The mission was provided to recognize and highlight areas that can lead to an effective and

efficient increase in production and freight handling. The key goal was to develop the

management of freight to evaluate the value of cargo management to the student.

4.3. Project Design


Before the functional execution began to meet the project goals, the correct approach and

architecture were shaped. All four participants took part in an explaining of the formal design

step by step to make it easier for the project to go smoothly, for consideration of mentoring

guidance and recommendations to improve its effectiveness and performance. The starting

process consisted of getting the pass for the airside visit with a guide to better grasp the activities

undertaken to ensure smooth and safe operation of air traffic. With the pass we were able to

explore the place for nearly two days along with a guide or a partner from the airport; thus, the

key obstacle was to obtain details for project submission in just two days. Even if access was

given for 48 hours, but from 9am to 5pm, the duration of our visit was another limitation.

Site assessment and casual small interviews have been carried out in order to collect as much

knowledge as possible to make a well-founded theory. The four participants made findings and

work began one day before the airside was available. We devised a plan to observe all aspects

one day before our visit to the apron, the cargo store, no matter how slight an impact it may have

on cargo management. The members agreed to use the learning method to ask the staff working

in this field to increase the leaning to get information for the project any difficult questions.

With the two-day restriction period, on the first day we managed to get as much information as

possible and at the end of the day the full observation and our next move were debated with the

boss. We reviewed our reports on the second day of the on-site observation in order to achieve a

fair outcome, which will reinforce our comments and results during the internship.
4.4. Key findings/Results
The discoveries made during the time of the project have been officially identified as

observations and our primary assumptions as our core source of information. These are the only

observations made in the brief duration of the internship project.

 There is no automated baggage screening device that allows the ASF to search the

random baggage or suspected baggge manually. Random checking exits the upgrade area

and re-opening of the baggage often causes passenger frustration and delays in flights.

 Not every customer is happy with AIIA’s cargo service, as mostly PIA’s cargo is used for

shipments, which is quite expensive as compared to other airlines.

 Still, old mode of transportation is being used, and the need of hour is to expand its

services and technology, to make cargo import and export efficient, and modern.

 Although, the cargo system is quite efficient, however, sometimes human error occurs

leading to loss of reputation and trust from the customers.

 Due to old technology and software, lots of documents and clearance certificates, it has

become harder for people to transport goods from Pakistan.

 Custom duties are not monitored effectively. Sometimes, customers are over-charged due

to manual transactions.

 All the cargo is monitored, as there are tracking numbers available, however, the African

Region is controlled by private airlines and it needs to tap into that region too.

 Real-time cargo tracking is missing, as there were many incidents reported about missing

cargo and luggage. In such cases, customers lodge a complaint and companies has to

accommodate those customers.


4.5 Project Recommendations
The ideas and recommendations that can be taken to combat the challenges that also least

concern cargo contribute to the concerns that can help us remove these obstacles to fostering

productive import and export management and the management of cargo on the AIIA Lahore.

The following are the recommendations for the findings mentioned above:

 Manual daily flight data entry should be checked cross-checked to eliminate baggage

handling loss and variability.

 In order to avoid such failures, the system should be changed from manually to

automatically.

 A new technology is required to change the baggage screening system, so that there is no

need for random manual checks of passenger bags to eliminate flying delays.

 There should be different programs and seminars to offer pressure preparation so that the

exhaustion of the workers does not affect the handling of cargo.

 African Region should be targeted for more imports and exports, besides leaving it up to

privatized airlines.
