The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) last month sacked 63 of its employees, including five pilots, on charges of fake degrees, embezzlement and absence from duty.

All five of the sacked pilots were holding fake licences, said PIA spokesperson Abdullah Khan, adding that all the employees were dismissed in accordance to the law.

Last month, the airline had sacked 17 pilots, including 12 captains after they were found to be having 'dubious' flying licences. — PTI
