The pilot of a Shaheen Air International plane was drunk at the time of emergency landing , a medical report has revealed. The report also revealed that the pilot was suffering from lack of sleep.

On November 4, the Boeing 737 carrying 121 people on board skidded off the runway soon after landing, about 1,000 feet short from the end into a grassy patch 70 feet west of the runway at Allama Iqbal International Airport (AIIAP).

All passengers and crew on board the NL-142 Karachi to Lahore flight remained unhurt and were evacuated via emergency escape chute, but the aircraft’s landing gear, windows and right wing were damaged in the landing.

According to a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), investigation into the accident has not yet been completed.

However, medical reports have confirmed that the pilot had consumed more than the permitted amount of blood alcohol and had not rested the required hours before the flight, said the CAA spokesman.
