PIA ranked among world's best airlines
Recorder Report Updated 06 Nov 2021

KARACHI: Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is now ranked among the best airlines in the world that have the safest operating records after achieving perfect safety ratings from the European air safety watchdog SAFA (Safety Audit for Foreign-Origin Aircraft), with zero index.
SAFA conducts periodic and surprise checks for all the non-European Airlines at different airports across the world.
PIA, being under consistent scrutiny ever since the pilots license scandal surfaced, was subjected to more extensive audit checks at most of the international airports by SAFA inspectors.
However, with zero findings being recorded by SAFA since last few weeks, it has lowered it safety hazard index to zero, which is a perfect score. Sharing his views on achieving the Zero index safety ratings, PIA CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik thanked Almighty Allah for his blessings and congratulated PIA team for their sincere efforts working tirelessly to achieve highest ever safety ratings.
He said now after the restructuring of PIA's Safety Department, more stringent in-house safety checks are being undertaken on all its international flights. A new safety awareness culture has been introduced in PIA whereby special emphasis and career incentives are given to employees whom adhere to the culture.
He further said PIA has offered professional support to the regulatory authority in Pakistan as well, aiding them to clear the ICAO Audit in November of this year, paving the way for resumption of flights to west.

See how accepting flaws and correcting them works out in the long term vs brushing it under the carpet. This is for the 1000's of passengers that use PIA.

I said the same thing when the pilot scandal surfaced, we will come out better. Temporary pain is worth it in the long run against burying your head in the sand.
Hopefully PIA never falls again to nepotism as it has over the previous regimes.

There is a reason why mature and responsible airlines and regulatory authorities spend millions of dollars in investigating each crash and not try to actively cover up.

The honorable Air Marshal might not be aware that PIA currently has a 1/7 safety rating.

The criteria behind this one star

If you look at the site you posted criteria for rating, you would get your answer.

I don't think it can be compared to international watchdog like SAFA (international airline safety regulator, part of EASA).
 
The headline is misleading. One safety audit revealed no citations. That is all.

Yes that is it.

I get it that there is an effort to fix PIA's safety and service issues but misleading the public will not solve those issues.
 
what a joke :lol:

PIA as an airline is most scrappiest airline of world . cannibalizing aircraft to get parts is safety ? ask your air force ex CEO where are two a320 and ab777 since more then a year ? yes he cannibalized them for parts .
The headline is misleading. One safety audit revealed no citations. That is all.
if they show auditor b777 APBGL and APBMS he will pissed off and give 0 star to PIA .

now they are hiding them in hanger so no one can take pic of them

this is what CEO said
Grounded PIA Boeing 777s underwent controlled cannibalization because Boeing ended Component Services Program for PIA due to lack of funds/poor cash flow experienced by the airline, says airline's CEO Air Marshal Arshad Malik.

PIA is holding talks with Boeing for the resumption of Component Services Program. Grounded Boeing 777s will begin returning to service after PIA starts getting components from Boeing.

Actually, misleading the public is the easiest thing that continues to work given the gullibility of our population. :D

I am sure they will be able to resume the program.
 
If I recall correctly, PIA was in dire straights many years ago and it was retired Air Marshall Nur Khan who took control and revived it. The current PIA chief is also a very capable and hard working professional and I see much hope in another revival.
But, yes, this headline is misleading.
