Despite the PCAA’s corrective action plan, the EU committee opted to continue monitoring the situation and requested regular progress reports.
The committee also urged EU member states to prioritize inspections of Pakistani aircraft to ensure international safety standards.
The decision is seen as a setback for PIA’s operations in Europe.
The Pakistani airlines has been banned from EU skies since 2020, and this latest decision prolongs its restriction.
