**Interview with Samir Saeed, Director of Civil Aviation, on the Historic Transport of a Passenger Plane by Road**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Samir. We’ve just heard about the exciting and unprecedented operation of moving a decommissioned Boeing 737 from Karachi to Hyderabad by road. Can you tell us what prompted this unique transport decision?
**Samir Saeed:** Thank you for having me. The decision to transport the Boeing 737 by road stemmed from our commitment to enhance training facilities at the Civil Aviation Training Institute. The aircraft will provide invaluable hands-on experience for our firefighters, particularly in emergency evacuation scenarios.
**Editor:** That’s a fascinating initiative! Can you elaborate on the logistics of this operation? How was the plane prepared for such a journey?
**Samir Saeed:** Certainly. The Boeing 737, which measures 110 feet in length and weighs about 40 tons, was loaded onto a specialized 350-foot-long ten-wheeler trailer. Our team worked closely with the Motorway Police to ensure safe transit. They managed traffic efficiently so that the Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway remained open and normal operations continued throughout the transport process.
**Editor:** It sounds like a well-coordinated effort. Was there any specific reason for choosing this method of transport over others?
**Samir Saeed:** Yes, this was indeed the first operation of its kind in the country. Given the size and weight of the aircraft, transporting it by road using specially designed trucks and trolleys was the most feasible option. It allows for a controlled transfer, minimizing risks that could arise with other methods, such as air transport.
**Editor:** What challenges did you face during the transport, and how did you overcome them?
**Samir Saeed:** A key challenge was maintaining the balance between keeping the motorway operational while ensuring the safe transport of such a large object. The Motorway Police played a crucial role in strategizing the timeline for transport, opting for late-night hours when traffic density was lower. This timing made it easier to navigate through potential bottlenecks.
**Editor:** It’s impressive how smoothly it seems to have gone. What are the future plans for the Boeing 737 once it arrives in Hyderabad?
**Samir Saeed:** Once it reaches the Civil Aviation Training Institute, the aircraft will be utilized primarily for training firefighters. Having a real aircraft on-site will greatly enhance our training programs, allowing for simulated emergency scenarios that are critical for developing effective response techniques.
**Editor:** Thank you, Samir! This operation is a groundbreaking achievement in aviation training and logistics in Pakistan. We look forward to seeing the impact it will have on future training programs.
**Samir Saeed:** Thank you for the opportunity to share this initiative. We are excited about the future of our training programs and the safety of our aviation operations.
