Welcome to Pakistan Airline Pilots' Association [PALPA]

The sad demise of F/O Mansoor Ahmed after operating PK- 792 on 20th & 21st November 2008. It was indeed a very sad incident in which the things could have been handled better than they were. There could have been lack of understanding of the scenario or some communication gap, but the decision making had serious deficiencies. There is a lesson for all of us that the typical Pilot Incapacitation that we practice in our training sessions, is too limited in its scope and all of us need to broaden our vision when confronting such situations during our flights in future.

With also profound grief, we inform our members that our senior colleagues Captain (Retd) Bashir Akhtar, Capt. (Retd.) Maqsood, Capt. (Retd.) Asad Naqi Mirza & Capt. (Retd.) M. Karim Mirza left us for their heavenly abode.

We pray to Almighty Allah to give courage to our colleagues’ families and relatives to bear this irreparable loss. May the departed souls rest in peace Ameen!
