Human error by the pilots and air traffic control caused the crash of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane, he said. The minister said that the pilots had ignored the instructions of the air traffic control on the height of the aircraft. He said that the recording obtained would be made part of the final report of the PIA plane crash. "Whilst appointing pilots, merit is ignored," he added, disclosing that degrees of four PIA pilots had been found out to be fake. Sarwar said that the government will take action against PIA pilots who were found guilty of the above offenses.
