A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight averted a major incident as the pilot of a Quetta-bound flight landed the plane at the Islamabad airport after its engine was hit by a bird immediately after the take-off on Sunday.
According to sources, the pilot received signal from the engine under the automatic system. He alerted the control tower and returned the plane for the landing. The pilot then landed the plane safely at Islamabad Airport.
The plane was grounded at the airport and the engineers were called for the assessment of any damage to the engine. The Quetta-bound passengers later proceeded to their destination via another plane, the sources added.
