PIA serves Heathrow, Manchester and Birmingham and now faces a ban after the European Aviation Safety Agency (Easa) – which the UK remains a member of until the end of this year – suspended its authorisation for the remainder of 2020.
PIA confirmed: “Easa has temporarily suspended PIA’s authorisation to operate to the EU member states for a period of six months effective 1 July 2020 with the right to appeal against this decision.”
