JAKARTA - A senior Air Canada pilot has been released after being arrested on fraud charges for allegedly flying thousands of passengers on hundreds of flights without a valid license.
The Peel Regional Police in Canada will reveal the results of an investigation into fraud that led to the investigation of the pilot. The investigation began after a random certification examination found non-compliance.
In a press release, Air Canada acknowledged what happened and said they "take this matter very seriously."
"Safety was not compromised by this incident because all pilots at Air Canada undergo mandatory periodic training every six months to validate their flying competence, including flight checks with Transport Canada certified examiner pilots every 12 months," the airline said in a statement. reported by ABC News, Tuesday, June 9.
"However, the appropriate license is an important layer of the aviation industry's layered approach to safety, so Air Canada has audited its pilot group and found no other examples of non-compliance," the airline continued.
The airline said the pilot - whose name was not mentioned - had been fined and was no longer working at Air Canada.
The pilot is scheduled to return to court later this month.
