Ten unlucky passengers had to suffer delay when Pakistan International Airlines’ (PIA) flight returning from Jeddah took off without them on Wednesday. According to sources, Jeddah-Lahore PIA flight PK-760 left behind 10 confirm passengers, creating problems for them as they had to wait for more than 12 hours to catch the next flight. However, PIA officials said the 10 passengers were offloaded as the authority had to carry bodies of some Pakistani citizens who died in Saudi Arabia.
They said the passengers who were offloaded were provided with all sorts of facilities and were later brought via Karachi through an alternate flight. But the offloaded passengers blamed that besides the delay, they had to face hardships due to a lack of facilities. They criticised PIA for offloading confirm passengers and demanded an investigation.
