UNO urges staff not to travel on Pakistan Airlines plane

- There were reports of fake licenses of pilots some time ago

UNO / Islamabad Dated 25th January 2021 Monday

UNO urged its staff not to board any Pakistani airlines for safety reasons.

Recently, there were reports that the licenses of some pilots of Pakistan Airlines were fake, meaning that these pilots did not have the proper qualifications to carry international flights.

UNO's United Nations Security Management System (UNSMS) issued such an urgency to its employees. Thus, Pakistan was once again humiliated in the world.

The agency also warned air operators registered in Pakistan in view of the ongoing probe by Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) into forged pilot licenses.

It is worth remembering here that a plane crashed in Karachi, Pakistan last year. A responsible Pakistani minister at the time stated that the licenses of many Pakistani pilots were bogus. It was also announced in the Parliament of Pakistan that many pilots of Pakistan Airlines were involved in smuggling.

It was also informed that these guidelines of UNSMS are applicable to all the airlines of Pakistan. UNSMS said it was in its own interest that no UN employee should use Pakistani airlines even for domestic travel inside Pakistan.

After a plane crashed in a residential area of ​​Karachi last year, a responsible Pakistani minister himself stated that at least 40 per cent of Pakistani pilots' licenses were bogus.

After that, some other scams of Pakistan Airlines also came to light. A spokesman for Prime Minister Imran Khan's party said in a statement that Pakistan Airlines employees had been involved in smuggling and had been caught red-handed.
