International civil aviation body advises Pakistan to suspend issuance of new pilot licenses
New Delhi: The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has advised Pakistan to take “immediate corrective actions” and suspend the issuance of any new pilot licenses following the scandal over false licenses, according to reports.
The recommendations from ICAO, a specialized agency of the United Nations that works to ensure safety in international air transport, come days after Pakistan opened a criminal probe into 50 pilots and five civil aviation officials who allegedly helped them falsify credentials to secure pilot licences, according to a Reuters report.
