CAAM suspends pilots holding Pakistani licences after fraud revelation

Malaysia's aviation regulator has temporarily suspended pilots employed by domestic airlines who hold Pakistani licences after the government of the South Asian nation revealed that many pilots had dubious qualifications.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) said in a statement on Thursday that the decision came after an evaluation of all foreign pilots in Malaysia. The regulator told Reuters that there are less than 20 Pakistani pilots in the country.
