Zardari takes notice of PIA emergency landings, calls for inquiry
The president also directed the concerned authorities to ensure that no such incident takes place in the future.
Spokesperson to the President, Senator Farhatullah Babar said Zardari expressed deep concern over the recurring reports of emergency landings of the PIA aircraft mostly due to “technical reasons.”
Zardari said that the major responsibility of airlines managers was to ensure that the fleet was in perfect condition.
He said that human lives were too precious to risk because of neglect of few people.
Recently, a London-bound PIA airplane developed “technical fault,” forcing it to make an emergency landing at the Karachi airport.
Similarly in September, a Hajj flight with 187 passengers on board made an emergency landing at the Karachi airport after its hydraulic system developed a fault.
The presidential spokesperson said that besides calling for a detailed report, the president has also called for a meeting for a comprehensive briefing on the issue.

Mr zardari, y u r geting worried about the common pepls of pak u must enjoy ur presidency and make plan for future that how u can sale the pak. But its our own mistake that we select ur party to vote if tha nation want to change his life i m requesting the pepls plz u must vote to IMRAN KHAN OR PERVEZ MUSHARRAF.
Can't make it 'never happen again', it's a machine! and machines have this awful habit of breaking down once in a while ... it's better if President would continue ignoring the plight of the nation rather to make comments that demand super-human technology for PIA.
and the President's spokesman has also said that the President is planning to hire 1000 to 2000 special persons to take responsibility of fleet of PIA and investigate and prevent any future such incidences. This will benefit both Pakistan International Air line and Pakistan Peoples Party. So lets Partyy Yaaaaayyy!
Mr. President, this is what happens when you fit-in unqualified and incompetent 'jiyalas' in PIA and other organizations
Mr. Zardari, why you are bothered to take notice? Enjoy your time in Presidency, common people should get a lesson as they have ELECTED your DEMOCRATIC ERA
why court is against the ban on motor cycle for few days??? if this action is helping to control the situation then why they are opposing?? This decision is for the betterment of the people, who will be responsible if something goes wrong or some terrorist activity happen due to the usage of this motor cycle? I request people to be calm and relax, shia people are busy in their muharram activities, security situation is very high, everyone has a fear of unknown that what will happen. They are banning motor cycle because they have intelligence report. It is work of court to intercept the activities of security agencies??? I know people are very poor here, motor cycle is the last and only cheap option to travel but you people can't bear just ONE DAY OFF of your bike just for the sake of our innocent people??? if not then it is the point of shame on us... just relax guys...
I am sure the Chairman of PIA and CAA also must have taken notice of this.How nice it would be if each official is allowed to do it's job including ensuring security and safety!
