An airplane carrying Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif made an emergency landing on Friday when the aircraft’s windscreen cracked midair.
The PML-N chief, a top contender in the coming polls, was travelling for a campaign rally to the town of Hasilpur.
According to aviation officials, the pilot told air traffic control that the aircraft’s windscreen had cracked mid-flight at a height of 9,000 kms.
The plane eventually made an emergency landing at Allama Iqbal International Airport.
At least 12 other people were reported to be onboard along with the PML-N chief.
No injuries were reported.
