Gulp! A Third Of Pakistan's Commercial Pilots Have Fake Licenses

Pakistan's aviation minister says more than 30% of commercial airline pilots in Pakistan have fake licenses.

The revelation came in a new report blaming pilot error for a crash in May that killed 97 people near Karachi.

The two pilots were chatting about the coronavirus pandemic during sensitive parts of the landing procedure.

The report said they also repeatedly ignored warnings from air traffic controllers.
