A flight Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on the way to Lahore in Dubai has little escaped a major accident after a strike of birds. The incident occurred when the bird collided with the engine of the Airbus aircraft on the flight PK 203.
The captain quickly contacted the air traffic controller and requested authorization from an emergency landing. The plane, carrying more than 150 passengers, was safely landed by the captain.
The PIA engineering team will be shipped from Karachi via the PK 304 flight to Lahore airport for a more in -depth inspection. The team will make a fortuitous inspection to assess any damage to the engine of the plane caused by the bird strike.
Earlier, PIA resumed its flights to the European Union (EU) and hoped to resume flight operations to the United Kingdom (United Kingdom) after an interruption of more than four years.
Sources have revealed that the British Security Committee was to examine the pia resumption of resumption at a meeting on March 12.
The meeting would include the presentation of the latest audit reports of the PIA and the civil aviation Authority Pakistan. If it is approved, direct flights to the United Kingdom would be restored.
The management of the PIA remained optimistic about the approval and had prepared a plan to immediately resume the flights to London, Manchester and Birmingham during the authorization.
A PIA team of two members had recently returned to Pakistan after evaluating the preparations for operations in the United Kingdom.
The EU and the United Kingdom had imposed a temporary ban on the PIA in June 2020 after a revelation in the Pakistani parliament concerning pilots with false licenses. PIA flight operations to the EU resumed on January 11.
