The plane went down in a residential area near Jinnah International Airport on May 22, killing 97 people on board
In this file photo taken on May 24, 2020, security personnel stand beside the wreckage of a plane that crashed in a residential area in Karachi.Pakistan’s aviation minister said Wednesday that “human error” on the part of the pilot, the co-pilot and air traffic control caused last month’s plane crash in the port city of Karachi that killed all 97 people on board.
When flights resumed in May, every other seat on planes was left vacant to promote social distancing, including on the doomed Pakistan International Airlines flight. According to the cockpit voice recorder that was later found among the debris on the ground – and which was subsequently handed over to Airbus experts – the pilots had discussed the coronavirus throughout the flight, which had apparently affected their families.
“Thus, pilots and ATC both did not follow protocols,” Khan told the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament.
