Geoffrey Wall 今年 59 歲。他在 1998 年開始工作。2009 年，他成為了機長。但他並沒有通過該職位所需的艱難測試。他駕駛大型飛機執行了 900 次航班，並賺了很多錢。

In March 2025, the airport found a problem with his papers. The police started an investigation. They say Wall lied about his documents. He also lied about a theft. The police arrested him on June 1.

2025 年 3 月，機場發現他的文件有問題。警方隨即展開調查。警方表示 Wall 在文件中撒謊，還就一起盜竊案說謊。警方於 6 月 1 日將他逮捕。

加拿大航空表示航班是安全的。機師每六個月接受一次訓練。其他機師每年會檢查他們的工作。航空公司立即解僱了 Wall。加拿大運輸部對他處以罰款。

A former Air Canada pilot is facing several criminal charges after it was discovered that he worked as a captain for 17 years without the necessary legal qualifications.

一名前加拿大航空飛行員面臨多項刑事指控，因為發現他在缺乏必要合法資格的情況下，擔任了17年的機長。

The Peel Regional Police investigation, called 'Project Icarus,' focuses on 59-year-old Geoffrey Wall from Barrie, Ontario. While Wall had a valid commercial license when he started in 1998, police claim he lied about his qualifications to his employer and regulators when he was promoted to captain in 2009. Specifically, he did not have the Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), which is required to command large commercial planes. Consequently, Wall allegedly flew Boeing 767, 777, and 787 aircraft on over 900 flights and earned about 2.9 million Canadian dollars during this time.

皮爾區域警察的一項名為「伊卡洛斯計畫」的調查，焦點在於來自安大略省巴里的59歲男子Geoffrey Wall。雖然Wall在1998年開始執業時持有有效的商業執照，但警方指稱他在2009年升任機長時，向雇主和監管機構謊報其資格。具體而言，他並不具備指揮大型商業飛機所需的航空公司運輸飛行員執照（ATPL）。因此，Wall涉嫌在此期間駕駛波音767、777及787飛機執行超過900個航班，並賺取約290萬加幣。

The problem was discovered in March 2025 during a routine check at Pearson International Airport, where officials noticed errors in his documents. This led to an inquiry by Air Canada and a police investigation. Furthermore, police allege that Wall filed a fake police report claiming his documents were stolen. On June 1, Wall was arrested and charged with seven crimes, including fraud and forgery. He is expected to appear in court in Brampton on June 29.

此問題於2025年3月在皮爾森國際機場的一次例行檢查中被發現，當時官員注意到其文件存在錯誤。隨後導致加拿大航空啟動詢問並由警方介入調查。此外，警方指控Wall提交了一份虛假的警察報告，聲稱其文件被盜。Wall於6月1日被捕，被指控七項罪名，包括詐欺與偽造。他預計將於6月29日在賓普頓出庭。

Air Canada emphasized that passenger safety was never at risk. The airline explained that all pilots undergo training every six months and annual checks by certified pilots. Although the ATPL is a key part of their safety system, the company stated that Wall was removed from duty immediately after the fraud was found. Additionally, an internal audit showed that no other pilots were involved, and Transport Canada has issued fines to Wall for these violations.

加拿大航空強調，乘客安全從未受到風險影響。航空公司解釋，所有飛行員每六個月需接受一次訓練，並由認證飛行員進行年度檢查。儘管ATPL是安全系統的關鍵部分，但公司表示在發現詐欺後立即將Wall撤職。此外，內部審計顯示沒有其他飛行員涉案，且加拿大交通部已就這些違規行為對Wall處以罰款。

Geoffrey Wall is currently unemployed and is waiting for his court date regarding the fraudulent use of his professional credentials.

Geoffrey Wall目前處於失業狀態，正等待關於其非法使用專業資格的法庭審理日期。

A former Air Canada pilot is facing multiple criminal charges after it was discovered he operated commercial aircraft as a captain for 17 years without the legally mandated credentials.

一名前加拿大航空飛行員面臨多項刑事指控，因發現他在缺乏法定資格的情況下，擔任了 17 年的商業飛機機長。

The investigation, designated 'Project Icarus' by the Peel Regional Police, identifies Geoffrey Wall, 59, of Barrie, Ontario, as the subject of a complex fraud and forgery scheme. While Wall possessed a valid Commercial Pilot License upon commencing his tenure in 1998, it is alleged that he misrepresented his qualifications to both his employer and regulatory bodies upon his promotion to captain in 2009. Specifically, Wall lacked the Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), a prerequisite for pilots-in-command of large commercial aircraft, which requires the completion of specific written examinations. Consequently, Wall allegedly operated Boeing 767, 777, and 787 aircraft across more than 900 domestic and international flights, accruing approximately 2.9 million Canadian dollars in salary during this period of non-compliance.

皮爾區警察局將此項調查命名為「伊卡洛斯計劃」（Project Icarus），目標為來自安大略省巴里的 59 歲男子 Geoffrey Wall，指控其涉及一起複雜的詐騙與偽造計劃。雖然 Wall 在 1998 年入職時持有有效的商業飛行執照，但據稱他在 2009 年升任機長時，向雇主及監管機構虛報其資格。具體而言，Wall 缺乏航空公司運輸飛行員執照（ATPL），而這是大型商業飛機機長的必要條件，要求必須通過特定的筆試。因此，Wall 涉嫌在不符合資格期間，駕駛波音 767、777 及 787 飛機執行了超過 900 班國內與國際航班，期間領取了約 290 萬加幣的薪資。

The discrepancy was identified in March 2025 during a routine credential evaluation at Pearson International Airport, where anomalies in the presented documentation were detected. This prompted a regulatory inquiry by Air Canada and a subsequent criminal investigation. Police further allege that Wall submitted a fraudulent police report concerning the purported theft of pilot documentation. On June 1, Wall was arrested and charged with seven counts, including fraud, uttering forged documents, and public mischief. He is scheduled for a court appearance in Brampton on June 29.

此項差異是在 2025 年 3 月於皮爾森國際機場進行例行資格審查時被發現的，當時偵測到提交的文件存在異常。這隨後觸發了加拿大航空的監管調查以及後續的刑事調查。警方進一步指控 Wall 提交了一份虛假的警方報告，聲稱飛行文件被盜。6 月 1 日，Wall 被逮捕並被指控七項罪名，包括詐騙、使用偽造文件及公眾滋擾。他預計將於 6 月 29 日在布蘭普頓出庭。

In response to these developments, Air Canada asserted that passenger safety was not compromised, citing the efficacy of its recurrent training protocols conducted every six months and annual flight checks performed by certified Transport Canada pilots. The airline characterized the ATPL as an essential layer of a multi-layered safety framework and confirmed that Wall was removed from active duty immediately upon the discovery of the fraud. An internal audit of the airline's pilot group revealed no further instances of non-compliance. Transport Canada has imposed monetary penalties on the individual for the regulatory breaches.

針對這些進展，加拿大航空主張乘客安全未受影響，理由是公司每六個月會進行一次定期訓練，且由加拿大交通部認證的飛行員每年進行飛行檢查。航空公司將 ATPL 視為多層安全框架中的關鍵一層，並確認 Wall 在發現造假後立即被解除職務。航空公司對飛行員群體進行的內部審計顯示，無其他違規案例。加拿大交通部已針對其監管違規行為對該名個體處以罰款。

Geoffrey Wall remains unemployed and awaits legal proceedings regarding his alleged long-term fraudulent misrepresentation of his professional credentials.

Geoffrey Wall 目前仍處於失業狀態，等待關於其涉嫌長期偽造專業資格的法律程序。
