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.
