Irish Vlogger Records 'Dangerous' Flight; Praises Pakistani Pilots After Smooth

Irish travel vlogger Sean Hammond recently documented a highly publicized flight aboard an airline he claimed was widely considered the world's most dangerous and banned from European airspace. Hammond expressed significant pre-flight anxiety, citing claims that a high percentage of the carrier’s pilots lacked proper licensing. The flight was reportedly heading into one of Pakistan’s most challenging airports, known for its short runway and difficult approach conditions.

Despite the initial tension, Hammond reported a surprising shift in perspective mid-air, noting the stunning mountain scenery helped alleviate his fear. Upon arrival, the vlogger was impressed by the crew’s performance, describing the landing as "smooth as butter." He publicly praised the pilots, stating their skill contradicted the negative safety rumors surrounding the carrier.

The video sparked a significant online debate, with many viewers defending the airline and its pilots. Commenters challenged the vlogger’s factual claims, specifically refuting the assertion that the airline was banned across Europe or that pilots were unlicensed. Several users highlighted the historical excellence of Pakistani aviation, noting the carrier's legacy in training staff for major Gulf carriers decades ago.
