PIA EASA UK AviationIndustry London Manchester Burmingham Pakistan Newsonepk
The UK Civil Aviation Agency has suspended Pakistan International Airlines flight operations from three airports — Birmingham, London Heathrow and Manchester.The move on Tuesday follows the decision by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency to suspend PIA’s air operations permit for a period of six months over concerns that Pakistan is “not capable to certify and oversee its airline operators”.
“The UK Civil Aviation Authority is required under law to withdraw PIA’s permit to operate to the UK pending EASA’s restoration of their approval that it meets international air safety standards.” There are over 1.6 million British Pakistanis in the UK who regularly travel between the UK and Pakistan. Previously, PIA flew 25 flights to the UK every week with 7,500 passengers flying.“I want to tell my nation: We have no other option, reforms are inevitable,” he said Tuesday.
The head of UAE’s aviation body, in a letter to Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority’s director-general, said: “In the wake of recent announcements by the Minister of Aviation of Pakistan […] We request your offices to verify the licensing credentials” of those pilots who are working in UAE based on qualifications issued by CAA.
