ISLAMABAD - The International Civil Aviation Organisation has advised Pakistan to undertake"immediate corrective actions" and suspend the issuance of any new pilot licenses in the wake of a scandal over falsified licenses, according to an official and a document seen by Reuters.

"Pakistan should improve and strengthen its licensing system to ensure that it takes into account all necessary processes and procedures and prevents inconsistencies and malpractices before new licenses are issued and privileges of suspended licenses are re-established," said ICAO, in a previously unreported letter to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority last week.

The Montreal-based agency's recommendations come ahead of an ICAO audit to assess the country's aviation safety management systems.
