VIP movement?

KARACHI: In the media’s coverage of the Airblue plane crash, I have yet to come across any report which seeks to find out whether there was VIP movement during the time that the plane was to land at Islamabad airport. Are we to assume that this was not the case – that the plane wasn’t asked to wait and land after some time because of VIP movement on the tarmac? Could the airport authorities or the CAA please clarify this so any doubts on this issue could be removed?
