▲ Wreckage of Pakistani airlines crashed on May 22


Following Europe, the United States banned Pakistani International PIA operations.

This is due to the fact that 150 of the airline's pilots were found to be fake or suspicious.

The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a statement saying, "Recognizing that almost a third of Pakistani pilots are not properly licensed according to international standards, we have banned US airspace."

Malaysia, Vietnam, and the United Arab Emirates are shutting down Pakistani pilots and investigating whether their licenses are genuine.

Pakistani Airlines has been suspended from the United States since 2017 due to cost issues, but Corona19 has been flying charters several times to return to Pakistan in the United States.

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) also banned Pakistan International Airlines from the European Union on the 30th of last month for six months.

The fall of May 22 was triggered by the fake license issue of a Pakistani international airline pilot.

Pakistan International Airlines' A320 from Lahore to Karachi crashed into a residential neighborhood less than 1km from the runway at Karachi Jinna Airport, killing 97 of 99 passengers.

In the initial report of the accident investigation, "The pilot had a chat and released the automatic control system at the time of landing. The pilot and the controller did not comply with the basic rules."

A survey by Pakistan's aviation authorities revealed that 262 pilots, including 150 of Pakistan's international aviation pilots, were either fake or the result of trial fraud.

Pakistani authorities have forced 28 pilots to be fired first, and have suspended five officials from the Aviation Administration who helped cheat in the license test.

One pilot also revealed that 2.17 million to 10 million won of our money was bribed to a government official who helped obtain a license.

When the shocking'pilot license scandal' broke out, work was under way to find fake pilots from Pakistan in various countries.

Vietnam's Civil Aviation Authority has banned 27 Pakistani pilots, and Malaysian airlines have also banned about 20 Pakistani pilots and began investigating the authenticity of their licenses.
