The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and Pakistan Airlines Pilot Association (Palpa) have reached an agreement whereby the airline will provide personal protective equipment to cockpit and cabin crew with immediate effect.
The airline will also ensure that cabin and on-ground crews are fully trained.
In a meeting, both parties also agreed that the pilot-in-command will ensure that the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority are followed and the flight will be operated after the captain is satisfied. If a pilot is unwilling to fly because of Covid-19 related issues, he will inform the airline in writing.
