Pakistani Flights Denied By EU Once Again

Pakistani flights denied by EU over license concerns. The EU commission refused to lift the ban on Pakistani flights to operate in their territory after Pakistan failed to address reservations of the commission.

Back in September, Pakistan International Airlines – PIA – had decided that it will not appeal against a six-month ban imposed on its flights to various destinations in Europe.

As per European Union Commission, Pakistan’s aviation department needs to make pilot licensing authority more transparent, noting that licenses issuing to pilots should be through a fool-proof protocol, this is the main reason why EU has denied Pakistani flights to enter its territories, once again.

Noted that earlier, PIA reported to have incurred a loss of PKR 280 million after suspension of its flight operation to and from the EU states.

In June, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency – EASA – had banned the national flag carrier from flying to European locations over safety concerns. The EASA took the initiative days after PIA grounded several pilots over “dubious qualifications licenses” and in view of the PIA Airbus crash incident on May 22, 2020.
