Pakistan is the only country I’ve ever heard about having that problem. I doubt an advanced economy like UAE would be having this issue.

- EdwardDiego 5y agoThey hire a lot of international pilots.
- nwallin 5y agoThere are more Pakistani citizens living in the UAE than there are UAE citizens. So if Pakistan has a problem with fake pilot licenses, then so does the UAE.
- jhugo 5y agoThis logic makes no sense. First of all, the citizenship of Emirates pilots would not mirror the citizenship of the UAE itself. Most Pakistan citizens coming to the UAE are not coming to work for Emirates. Secondly, Emirates is able to do their own due diligance on pilot licenses, and since the problems with Pakistan licenses are well known throughout the industry, they would receive extra scrutiny. The problems that occurred here are neither unique to Emirates nor likely to have anything to do with fake pilot licenses. Over-reliance on automation and complacency are global issues.
