Pakistan\u2019s Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) hopes it can resume licensing pilots in February with the release of an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audit after a scandal over fake licenses, an authority official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICAO, the U.N. Aviation body, advised Pakistan in September 2020 to undertake immediate corrective action and suspend the issue of any new pilot licenses after false licenses came to light following the crash of a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane in May that year, in which 97 people wer killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A nine-member ICAO team carried out an audit in Pakistan for 10 days that concluded on Friday, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are hopeful we will resume issuance of licensing following the release of release of the ICAO audit report expected in February,\u201d Khaqan Murtaza, director general of the PCAA, told reporters on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot licence scandal tainted Pakistan\u2019s aviation industry and hurt flag carrier PIA, which was barred from flying to Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June last year, Pakistan grounded 262 airline pilots suspected of dodging their exams following checks of their qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action was prompted by the preliminary report on an airliner crash in the city of Karachi last year, which found that the pilots had failed to follow standard procedures and disregarded alarms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe situation is that they have cleared us but a final report is awaited. The report is expected any time after mid-February,\u201d Murtaza said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The audit was carried out in six areas \u2013 airworthiness, flying standards, personal licensing and examination, air navigation services, aerodromes and aircraft accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
