Threat of Omani airspace ban looms over PIA

RAWALPINDI: As the Pakistan aviation regulator and the national flag carrier grapple with the credibility crisis that hit the institutions last month, a threat of a ban on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights in the airspace of Oman looms large as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) assured them that credentials of all pilots had been scrutinised to ensure flight safety.

While expressing concern over the recent safety issue with the PIA, the Omani Civil Aviation Authority warned Pakistan that the national flag carrier could be barred from using its airspace, sources said. They added that the Omani authorities also asked Islamabad to explain what curative measures had been taken to ensure safety of flights.

There are some news circulating all over social media about all pilots licenses are valid and not fake. There is a document by CAA showing such news. Wonder what is that for.

That is in response to a query from one of aviation authorities that all licenses requested by them particularly are genuine. Does not mean the entire pool of licenses from CAA is genuine.
