Pakistan’s aviation authority has suspended another 68 pilots for possessing dubious licences, taking the number of those taken off duty for flying with fake credentials in the country to 161.
They were suspended by the Aviation Division on Monday, the Dawn newspaper reported.
The suspended persons are among the 262 pilots, who were grounded and put under investigation by the aviation ministry last month, for possessing suspicious licences, according to the newspaper.
Other than the 161 flying licences that have been suspended so far, 28 licences have been cancelled. The decision on the remaining 73 pilots is expected within the next two days.
