Overview
- European reports allege a pilot used forged certificates and flew passenger jets across Europe for months.
- Avion Express said it recently learned of unverified information about the pilot’s experience and launched an internal investigation.
- The pilot was reportedly certified only as a co-pilot but is said to have served as a captain on Avion Express flights.
- A Eurowings spokesperson said the case falls under Avion Express’s responsibility and that they are waiting for clarification.
- It remains unclear which routes or partner airlines were affected as Avion Express provides aircraft and crews to other carriers, including LOT, easyJet and SunExpress.
