The IASA members from Europe (Italy and France) were part of the team carrying out the online audit.
In the next phase, the IASA team will come to Pakistan and conduct an on-site audit of the PIA.

It is to be noted here that the PIA had been banned from operating direct flights to the European countries in July 2020 due to the alleged fake license scandal of pilots.
