Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
An important development has been made with regard to the resumption of PIA flights in Europe as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has cleared the national flag carrier in a remote audit, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
The PIA was audited online by IASA a few months back.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency will come to Pakistan in September to conduct a physical audit of the national airline and Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. After the success of the final audit, the PIA flights to Europe will be restored.
The PIA has been banned from flying to European countries since June 2020 following revelations of fake pilot degrees.
The EASA ban was soon followed by similar action by the UK and US aviation authorities.
Later, the EASA had extended travel restrictions imposed on the national carrier for an indefinite period.
The PIA will earn billions of rupees after the resumption of its flights to Europe.
