EU bar on Pakistani airlines ‘unchanged’

RAWALPINDI: The Euro­pean Union has opted to continue with its restrictions on Pakistani airlines, including Pakistan Inter­national Air­lines (PIA), after recent evaluations raised ongoing safety concerns. The decision, under­scored by the possibility of future reviews, follows an exhaustive asses­sment by the EU Air Safety Committee.

During its latest meetings, the committee determined that there were insufficient grounds to amend the current list of air carriers prohibited from operating within the EU. The decision is particularly pertinent to air carriers certified by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA).

An on-site review conduc­ted from Nov 27 to 30, 2023, critically examined the PCAA’s role in safety oversight and identified multiple areas of concern. These incl­uded deviations from established safety procedures and significant understaffing in the Flight Stan­dards Direc­torate, des­pite the authority being staffed by technically skilled professionals.

In response, the PCAA presented a corrective action plan on May 6, 2024, detailing measures taken to add­ress the deficiencies noted. This plan was discussed during a hearing with the EU safety committee in May.
