CAA Report
KARACHI: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has said that all the commercial / airline transport pilot licenses issued by it are correct and genuine, contrary to the aviation minister’s allegation that 40% of Pakistani pilot’s licenses are fake.
In a letter sent to a senior Oman official on July 13, CAA Director General Hassan Nasir Jami wrote, “It is important to clarify that the CPL / ATPL pilot licenses issued by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority Are real and correct.
According to the Dawn newspaper, he further said that no pilot’s license is fake but the matter was misunderstood and misrepresented in the media / social media.
The Acting DG Pakistan Civil Aviation Regulation of the Sultanate of Oman, Mubarak Saleh Al Gilani, sent an e-mail to Pakistani pilots operating in his country on July 2 and July 9 regarding concerns over the licenses of Pakistani pilots. This letter was written in response, a copy of which is available with Dawn.
Hassan Nasir Jami, who is also the Secretary Aviation, told the Omani official that the CAA had received the names of 104 Pakistani pilots from various civil aviation agencies, of which 96 had been confirmed.
The Secretary Aviation sought to downplay the aviation minister’s statement in his letter, saying “some concerns” had been raised about the verification of some pilots’ licenses.
The letter added that “it has been ensured that only those pilots and crew members with valid credentials were allowed to fly.”
Support Palpa’s position
On the other hand, the Pakistan Airlines Pilots Association (PALPA) said that the letter from the CAA acknowledged that the ATPL license of any pilot in Pakistan is not suspicious or fake, so it supports our position.
“The whole affair has damaged the reputation of the nation, its airline and its pilots around the world,” PALPA Secretary Imran Narejo said in a statement.
He added that the issue of licenses was mishandled by the Aviation Minister, PIA administration and the CAA, which is very detrimental to the pilots of the national airline.
On the other hand, the United States also withdrew the permission of PIA to fly charter flights to the United States.
According to a Reuters report, the US Federal Aviation Administration, while expressing concerns over the pilot’s certificate, also downgraded Pakistan’s air safety rating.
The issue of ‘suspicious’ pilot licenses
It may be recalled that the issue of suspicious or fake pilots’ licenses started on June 24 when Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan while presenting the investigation report of Karachi passenger plane crash in the National Assembly had said that out of 860 pilots, 262 were such. Were found to have been replaced by someone else.
Pakistan then grounded the pilots’ licenses on June 26 for alleged forgery in the exams, calling them۔
