PESHAWAR: Sharjah-bound Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight from Peshawar on Friday avoided a mishap after the plane devolved technical fault as soon as it took-off.
According to the aviation sources, Sharjah-bound flight, PK-257, took off from Bacha Khan International Airport in Peshawar with 100 passengers on-board but soon encountered serious technical faults.
“All systems in the plane went down and even the front wheel could not be closed despite repeated attempts from the pilot,” they said. “The shock absorbers also encountered fault other than the tripping of auto-pilot and stand-by pilot options in the plane.”
The pilot, however, landed the plane safely to the airport, avoiding any mishap. Later, the national flag-carrier engineers also tried to sort out the issues but their attempts remained futile.
