EASA Refuses to Lift Ban on Pakistani Airlines

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has refused to lift the ban imposed on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to travel to European countries and the UK on the basis of the audit conducted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

Although Pakistan was able to remove safety concerns raised by the International Civil Aviation Organisation, this was only part of the process that would lead to a lifting of those concerns.

Patrick Ky wrote that the development was an important step towards lifting of suspension of PIA's authorisation, but it was important to address the overall oversight capacity of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority.

The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority certification and oversight capabilities were degraded as indicated in our letter dated 31 March 2021. The letter states that the information will be taken into account when the suspension is lifted.

After the crash of PIA's plane in Karachi two years ago, the European Aviation Safety Agency suspended the permission for Pakistan airlines to operate in Europe for six months and then indefinitely.

On my recent visit to Pakistan, I met up with the CEO of PIA. We discussed the credibility of the pilots, the EU blacklist, and PIA's profitability.

Patrick Ky, the Executive Director of the European Aviation Safety Agency, is confident that the MAX will return to Europe by December. In an interview.
