KARACHI: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has made plastic wrapping, an extra layer of protection over the baggage, of all check-in luggage mandatory in a bid to increase compliance level with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

According to the ICAO, the safety of passengers and their baggage are two important elements in the ranking of an airport or the aviation industry. Plastic wrapping prevents damage when handlers have to swiftly move bags on and off planes.
