Passengers on Saturday morning protested against the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) as its flight PK-747, bound for Sialkot from Jeddah, was landed in Karachi. Passengers refused to step off the plane in protest.
According to the irate passengers, the flight was already suffering from a six and a half hour delay from Jeddah after which the landing in Karachi became even a bigger nuisance.
The PIA administration stated that the aircraft was landed due to bad weather conditions. However, sources say that the flight captain’s duty timing had finished and he simply landed the plane in Karachi and went home. The rest of the crew then proceeded to switch off the air conditions and then left.
