<h1>Airlines group urges raising pilot upper age limit to 67 with standardized medical checks and staffing movement code for technicians</h1> A global airlines' association has proposed raising the upper age limit for pilots on multi-pilot commercial flights from 65 to 67, citing pilot shortages and urging the international civil aviation regulator to approve the change. The proposal seeks standardized, risk-based medical assessment and oversight informed by shared pilot medical data to ensure safety, and recommends collaborative guidance across medical, licensing and operational domains. It notes some states have no age ceiling and argues past increases did not compromise safety. Separately, a major civil aviation market submitted concerns about foreign carriers recruiting trained technical staff without notice and urged development of a staffing movement code of conduct.
