One out of Every Three Pilots in Pakistan has Fake Licenses, Pakistan’s Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan Says

Pakistan’s Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan said that one in every three pilots in Pakistan are fake and have fake licenses. Addressing the National Assembly, Khan said that more than 260 pilots in Pakistan paid someone else to take the exam instead. Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has removed all its pilots with fake licenses with immediate effect. There are more than 850 active pilots of various domestic airlines in the country, including the country’s leading airline PIA and other foreign carriers.

According to CNN News, this information came to light in Karachi last month in the investigation of a PIA plane crash in which around 100 people were killed. Khan told Parliament that the pilots of the PIA plane that crashed on May 22 were not focused during the flight.

97 People Died in Plane Crash

The aviation minister said Pilates, his over-confidence and lack of concentration, was one of the reasons that led to the tragedy in which 97 people died. The pilot, on the other hand, ignored the instructions of air traffic controllers and ATC. On the other hand, the pilot was not informed about the collision of the engine. Pilots were discussing Corona during the entire flight time. They were not focused. He talked about Corona … his family was impressed.
