Canadian transport agency issues letter to PIA on successfully completing safety validation and airworthiness audit
Canadian Agency — Transport Canada has issued a letter to PIA on successfully completing the safety validation and airworthiness audit conducted by them on ICAO Airworthiness Elements.


The letter, issued on 11 August 2021, declares PIA's operations up to international standards and closes down all its reservations about the flight safety and operations of Pakistan's national flag carrier.
The audit was conducted in the aftermath of the flight authorizations suspension by the European Air Safety Agency (EASA) on all Pakistani operators consequent to the pilots' licenses scandal.
Transport Canada's Safety Validation and Airworthiness Audit Desk conducted the audit of PIA from August 2020 till September 2020. Though interim permissions were granted to PIA to operate into Canadian territory which is used to conduct repatriation operations during the period of COVID flight restrictions and later were converted into regular passenger flights, continuing to this day.
With new validation, PIA can operate with much more ease and comfort. It is worth mentioning that the premier airlines safety audit and accreditation agency IOSA has already issued operators license to PIA till July of 2023.
PIA CEO, Air Marshal Arshad Malik congratulated the Safety and Operations teams of PIA on the successful Audit. He vowed that PIA will make all end efforts for continuous improvements in safety standards.
