The International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) has officially requested documents from Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) about its engineering, flight services, and operations.
The assessment is part of a comprehensive safety assessment process that could significantly affect the airline’s future.
The European Safety Agency Board is gearing up for a pivotal meeting scheduled for May 2024. A major point of discussion will be the ongoing ban on PIA flights in Europe and the UK. The IASA is expected to present its final report at this meeting, including audit reports of both the PIA and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for review and discussion.
This upcoming meeting and the documents requested by IASA are critical for the future operations of PIA. The airline and its stakeholders are keenly awaiting the outcome of the Safety Board’s decision.
The request for documents follows a recent audit by the European Safety Agency on PIA and the CAA, highlighting concerns about the airline’s adherence to international safety standards. The results of this assessment will play a crucial role in determining PIA’s operational status in European and UK skies.
