Police say Geoffrey Wall flew thousands of passengers for 17 years with forged credentials before routine licence checks uncovered the alleged fraud.
- Former Air Canada pilot Geoffrey Wall, 59, faces seven charges including fraud and forgery for allegedly using fake credentials to fly as a captain.
- Wall allegedly flew thousands of passengers for 17 years without the required Airline Transport Pilot Licence, having used fraudulent documents since his 2009 promotion.
- Irregularities uncovered during 2025 routine licence checks triggered a Transport Canada investigation, while Air Canada stated all pilots undergo simulator testing every six months.
- Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich said, "Eventually it catches up to you and that's when we get involved," as Wall faces court on June 29.
- Air Canada conducted an audit of its pilot workforce and found no evidence of similar licensing irregularities among other pilots following the allegations.
