This photo taken on
February 4, 1986, shows AP-AYW after it made belly landing at
Islamabad Airport around 8:45 AM on that day. The Boeing 747 had
arrived as PIA flight PK-300 from Karachi with 247 passengers
and 17 crew members. Fortunately there was no loss of life in this
incident caused by pilot error.
Emergency escape slides were used for evacuation. The aircraft
blocked runway for jet flights for five days. However, PIA Fokker F27
Friendship turboprop aircraft were allowed to resume flights
from this runway on February 6. The runway was re-opened for
flights of all kinds of aircraft on February 9 after removal of
the Boeing 747 from runway on February 8. AP-AYW was repaired with
Boeing Company's technical assistance and returned to active
service |
