The frequency of aircraft faults is increasing. A couple of days back, a flight from Peshawar had an issue, and now this.

One can only imagine and sympathize with passengers who, in the simplest of terms, "becharay khawar ho gae hoongay."

Increased maintenance related diversions for PIA recently but as usual CAA is nowhere to be found. How can they ask EASA to lift the ban with a straight face?

CAA is busy harassing pilots in simulators and line checks and issuing validations to foreign crew.
