Global safety and transport bodies expressed concern about the alleged “dubious” licenses and said they were looking into the matter. “It is also ensured that all pilots flying PIA flights are having genuine licences endorsed by the government of Pakistan,” said a copy of the letter sent to the US Embassy in Islamabad. The letter, signed by PIA Chief Executive Arshad Malik, also promised the airline would remain compliant with all international aviation safety and regulatory standards. PIA’s spokesman said the letter had been sent to all heads of foreign missions in Pakistan as well as international aviation regulators and safety monitoring agencies. He added that five officials of the aviation authority were also suspended for abetting the suspected pilots.
