Britain has lifted its five-year flight ban on Pakistani airlines, citing significant improvements in aviation safety standards. The ban had been imposed after a scandal involving fraudulent pilot licenses, which emerged following a 2020 crash that killed 97 people. The British High Commission confirmed that this decision followed extensive engagement between the UK's Air Safety Committee and the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. Similar actions were taken by the European Union earlier this year, highlighting Pakistan's commitment to enhancing air safety measures.
