EU to continue its ban on Pakistan International Airlines, refuses to lift restrictions following air safety assessment

Op India  

The European Union has upheld its decision to maintain the ban on Pakistani air carriers, including Pakistan International Airlines, as reported by ARY News. This verdict follows an extensive assessment conducted by the EU Air Safety Committee, featuring an on-site evaluation of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority and sample assessments of Pakistani carriers Fly Jinnah and Airblue Ltd. These included inadequate scrutiny in closing findings based solely on proposed corrective actions rather than concrete evidence, deviations from established procedures, and significant understaffing within the Flight Standards Directorate, according to ARY News. During a subsequent hearing before the EU Air Safety Committee on May 14, 2024, the PCAA outlined the measures taken to address the identified issues.
