Aviation Minister Khawaja Asif on Friday announced that the European Commission and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have lifted the ban<\/a> on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) for flights to Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, after a PIA plane crash<\/a> in Karachi killed nearly 100, followed by a fake pilot licence scandal<\/a>, the EASA banned the airline from its most lucrative routes in Europe and Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ban cost the airline an annual revenue of nearly Rs40 billion. Minister of State for Finance and Revenue Ali Pervaiz Malik informed<\/a> the National Assembly in June that PIA flights to Europe were expected to be restored soon as the European Commission Air Safety Commission had delisted Pakistan from its concern list on May 14, describing it as a \u201cpositive development\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, Asif claimed that PIA flights to the UK would resume soon after clearance from EASA by mid-May. The minister\u2019s remarks were based on conversations with \u201crelevant quarters\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post<\/a> on X today, he said: \u201cIt is a momentous day to announce that European Commission and EASA has lifted the suspension on PIA flights to Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Third Country Operator authorisation was also issued to Airblue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asif said the development was made possible due to the aviation ministry\u2019s \u201ccomplete focus\u201d on strengthening the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) and ensuring safety oversight in line with the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur government has taken significant measures to strengthen PCAA, including enactment of PCAA Act, smooth segregation of regulator and service providers, appointment of professional leadership and training to build the capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am grateful to European Commission and EASA for conducting a transparent process and our commitment to ensure aviation safety in Pakistan.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
