– The UN’s aviation agency is telling Pakistan to stop issuing new pilot licenses in the wake of a scandal that saw the country revoke the licenses of 50 pilots and five civil aviation officials, Reuters reports. “Pakistan should improve and strengthen its licensing system to ensure that it takes into account all necessary processes and procedures and prevents inconsistencies and malpractices before new licenses are issued and privileges of suspended licenses are re-established,” says the International Civil Aviation Organization in a letter to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority. A Pakistani aviation ministry official says the country hasn’t issued any new licenses since July.
