Adil Rahman, who is the son of PK8303’s victims Fazal Rahmaan and Wahida Fazal Rahmaan filed a complaint in the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT through his attorneys against the crashed aircraft’s Lessor GE Capital Aviation Services, LLC (GECAS) . In his complaint, he alleged that the lesser of the aircraft, GECAS, failed to exercise the highest degree of care while leasing the Accident Aircraft to PIA.

He also alleged that the lessor negligently leased the Accident Aircraft to PIA when it knew or should have known that PIA had a poor safety record, including a prior crash resulting in multiple fatalities. 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.

The complaint also says that the lessor should’ve avoided leasing the Accident Aircraft to PIA when it knew or should have known that PIA did not hire properly qualified flight crews and did not properly train and supervise its flight crews in the operation of its aircraft.

The plaintiff has sought a remedy from the court against the lessor and has demanded actual and compensatory damages, interest, together with costs and such other damages.
