Karachi In May, 97 people were killed in a plane crash in Pakistan. In this case, the Government of Pakistan has taken major action on fake license. The Imran government has sacked 28 pilots operating in various airlines of the country. According to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, in a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday, it has been decided to initiate criminal proceedings against several pilots serving in airlines with the help of fake licenses.
He said that strict action is being taken in such cases. Earlier, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority suspended the licenses of 34 more pilots, including two women pilots. The cabinet will be able to take a decision in this matter after examining the licenses of the suspended pilots.
Earlier in June, the country’s civil aviation department had considered the licenses of 160 pilots of several airlines, including the government aviation companies Pakistan International Airlines, AUW and Sirin Air, as suspect. The management of the airlines was instructed to remove them until its investigation process was completed.
In the investigation process of the plane crash in Pakistan in May, it has been found that many pilots do not have valid licenses. During this period, the authorities have found suspicious records of the pilots. The fact finding committee of the Civil Aviation Department is investigating their license. 97 people, including crew members, were killed in the incident.

In Pakistan, this accident has happened due to the negligence of the pilots. According to the report on Wednesday, during the landing, the pilots were not focused on the aircraft, but they were busy discussing the corona virus. Significantly, on 22 May, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft had crashed into a residential area before landing in Karachi. The accident took place at some distance from the airport leaving only two passengers. All other passengers and crew members were killed.
Recently, the Civil Aviation Minister of Pakistan Ghulam Sarwar Khan, while presenting a report in Parliament, said that the pilot and the air traffic controller did not follow the rules in time. He said that he was engaged in discussions about the Corona virus when the Airbus A320 was about to land. According to the minister, the focus of the pilot and the co-pilot was not on the aircraft but they were talking about the corona during the entire journey.
