The VET said this week that it would immediately ban 141 of the 434 pilots from flying, as a government inspection found those pilots had forged licenses or cheated on exams, allowing others to pass them in their place.
The scandal erupted after the VIA plane crash in Karachi on May 22, which killed 98 people. The authorities are mainly to blame both pilots for the plane crash.
According to a government inspection last year, the details of which were released on Thursday, 262 of Pakistan’s 860 active pilots had forged licenses or failed exams. More than half of such pilots were from VET.
The VET fleet has 31 aircraft and employs around 14,500 people.
