FAKE LICENCE SCAM IN PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES

ON MAY 22, 2020, an Airbus A320 of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), on a scheduled domestic flight from Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore to Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, ended up in an unmitigated disaster. After the first attempt at approach and landing at Karachi airport failed, the pilot could not make another attempt at landing as the aircraft lost power on both engines on account of which, the airliner crashed in a densely populated residential area near the airfield. The airliner had 91 passengers and eight crew members on board of which only two passengers survived, but with serious injuries. One of the two survivors perished later on owing to the gravity of the injuries that he had sustained in the accident. Apart from these, eight persons on the ground also suffered fatal injuries. The aircraft was piloted by Captain Sajjad Gul with Usman Azam as the Co-Pilot.
