PIA flight lands back in Karachi due to technical fault
The flight was already 20 minutes late and was landed back 15 minutes after its departure.
Earlier this month, a PIA flight’s departure was delayed for two hours after a bomb threat. The flight, going from Lahore to Karachi, was given the go-ahead for take-off following a thorough search of the aircraft by the Bomb Disposal Squad.
Another PIA flight skidded off the runway at Lahore airport last month due to heavy rain. It was carrying 42 passengers and four crew members who all remained safe in the incident.

Gah, what is it with the maintenance crew of PIA that can never keep a proper check on these flights??
Any of my relative flying from PIA always keeps me worried.
The problem is PIA engineering, it seems. It looks like they are totally inept and corrupt - a shadow of their former self when they were one of the top engineering outfits worldwide. Corruption afterall trickles down.
@Sonya: After letting PIA rot under civilian leadership for 3 decades, yes we finally have an ex-Air Chief running the show. Give him sometime..
I'm not even surprised. It's the same with every local flight. One can't travel with a feeling of security now. Just saw a train Collison in Pakistan on a news channel. Ridiculous.
E.T. What is the relationship between these three stories? Your reporting standards need much to be desired.
This is after we have an ex Air Force Chief running the show.
