But a year on, Fahad, like other heirs of the crash victims, is still waiting for the government to publish the official investigation report definitively identifying the reasons behind flight PK-661’s crash. Legal heirs of around 27 crash victims have been compensated by the government so far, while cases of around six victims are still being processed. Relatives of the crash victims, however, say that they do not care much about the compensation, rather are far more interested in the reasons leading to the deadly crash. PIA flight PK-661 — an ATR-42 (AP-BHO) built by the French-Italian company ATR — crashed near Havelian on December 7 evening. Meanwhile, a CAA official, when asked about the investigation report, said that the department was not a part of the authority.
