The audit is conducted every two years to examine the safety standards of commercial airlines across the world. According to aviation experts, the national flag carrier needed to clear the audit following the ban imposed by the UK, USA, and Europe due to fake pilot licenses.

Last month, PIA management had decided against filing a review appeal against the European flight ban due to the IATA audit. The airline was of the view that PIA will be in a better position to present its case after clearing the audit.
