He expressed hope that the United Kingdom and other countries would soon follow suit in lifting their restrictions on PIA flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A PIA spokesperson termed the EASA\u2019s decision a &#8220;key milestone&#8221; achieved through years of rigorous effort. The airline announced plans to resume flights to Paris in the initial phase, with operations expected to begin in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar also praised the development, sharing EASA&#8217;s official communication and congratulating Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, PIA, and CAA for their collective efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Background: The Ban and Its Fallout<br><\/strong>The ban on PIA flights to Europe was first imposed in July 2020 after then-Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar revealed that 262 Pakistani pilots held &#8220;dubious&#8221; licenses. The announcement followed the PK-8303 crash investigation, which exposed lapses in aviation safety and licensing oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EASA repeatedly extended the suspension over concerns about Pakistan\u2019s compliance with international aviation standards. The ban severely impacted PIA\u2019s global operations, tarnishing the airline&#8217;s reputation and financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EU\u2019s Perspective on the Ban Lift<br><\/strong>EU Ambassador to Pakistan Riina Kionka highlighted that the suspension in 2020 was a technical decision, not a political one, and commended Pakistani authorities for meeting EASA&#8217;s stringent safety requirements. &#8220;EASA&#8217;s confidence has been restored, thanks to Pakistan&#8217;s dedication and effort,&#8221; she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As PIA prepares to resume European operations, this milestone is being seen as a critical step toward reviving Pakistan\u2019s aviation industry and rebuilding international trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Privatization Challenges<br><\/strong>Despite the lifting of the ban, PIA&#8217;s privatization efforts have faced hurdles. A recent attempt failed after the sole bidder, Blue World City, offered Rs10 billion ($35.8 million) for a 60% stake, far below the government\u2019s asking price of Rs85 billion ($304 million). The airline continues to grapple with approximately Rs200 billion in liabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Web Desk: After nearly four years, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) lifted the ban on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights to Europe, and Defence and Aviation Minister Khawaja Asif announced it on Friday.
