Toronto bound flight of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) from Lahore made an emergency landing at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Tuesday.

PIA’s Boeing 777 aircraft, PK-789, with around 300 passengers on board met a ‘technical fault’ while flying over the Karachi airspace which led the pilot to seek permission from aviation authorities for an emergency landing.

The plane was granted permission by the authorities which later safely landed at Karachi airport, sources added.

Spokesperson PIA told that the flight left for Toronto after removing the fault. PIA apologizes for the inconvenience to passengers.
