Karachi-bound Shaheen Air flight suffers technical problem during takeoff

The Airbus 330 was made to return from the runaway at the Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport

A Karachi-bound Shaheen Air flight was delayed on Wednesday following emergence of some technical problems during its takeoff, Express News reported.

The airline’s Airbus 330 was made to return from the runaway as it was about to take off from Lahore's Allama Iqbal International Airport.

According to preliminary reports, the delay was caused by a problem in the airline's controlling system.



Earlier in June this year, a Dubai-bound Shaheen Air flight narrowly escaped a crash when its tyres burst just before takeoff at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.

The engine of Shaheen Air flight NL-766 started making loud noises seconds before takeoff which prompted the pilot to apply emergency breaks to keep the plane on the runway, sources told The Express Tribune.
