BIRD HITS DELAY FLIGHTS IN LAHORE

 

 Lahore,Pakistan  :  The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) was forced to change its domestic flight schedule and cancel a domestic flight as two of its aircraft were rendered unfit due to bird hit at Islamabad and Karachi airports, a PIA Spokesman said here on Friday.

Flight PK 390, a Boeing 737 on a scheduled flight from Lahore to Islamabad was bird hit in late afternoon while landing at Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Islamabad. The same aircraft was to depart as PK 369 from Islamabad to Karachi but due to non availability of aircraft, flight PK 369 with 118 passengers had to be cancelled. These passengers were adjusted on PK 309 and an incoming international flight PK 853 which will now bring them to Karachi from Islamabad.

Another flight, PK 307 arriving from Lahore to Karachi late Thursday night was also hit by bird at the Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, due to which an Airbus A310 aircraft was declared technical (unfit) and the aircraft is being repaired at the PIA engineering facility.
