The complaint further blamed the lessor fo leasing the Accident Aircraft to PIA when it knew or should have known that the European Union previously had barred most of PIA’s fleet from flying to EU member countries because of safety concerns regarding PIA, the lessor is also accused of negligently leased the Accident Aircraft to PIA when it knew or should have known of reports that PIA failed to thoroughly investigate complaints of aircraft defects and neglected problems with its aircraft.
