Its common knowledge that weather is probably the most unpredictable thing there is ..You dont necessarily need to be a pilot to understand this little fact..even the best meteorologist will always present the limitations of his knowledge before presenting facts about weather

Angry fishwife

What the real question is how come clear air turbulnce caused the damage to the nose radome and all the dents reported earliar.

Seems like another coverup!!!

as for ur first statement..well..u will have to ask god WHY clear air turbulence does the things it does cuz no one really knows..
and yea..the pilots deliberately drove this million dollar beauty into severe weather..

give it a few days and the indians are somehow going to be pushed into the entire scenario and blamed too.. lets not forget..'saazish' is pakistans favorite word

Engineering has also contacted Boeing so that all actions for retrieval are in mutual consistency .Boeing has also despatched its local rep in Italy to milan.Thier is damage on engine neceles and Engine internal inspections shall be carried out by the PIA engineers reaching Milan.Once the team is in Milan hopefully retrieval shall be quick with temporary repairs and flying back as a ferry flight.

Thank you AM for details. Hope to see AP-BHX back in service soon.

Well all what has bees said in previous posts is OK ~ !

But according to GEO, MD PIA has said that there is no need for an inquiry.....?

I think atleast a inquiry should be conducted for the preventive measures / better understanding of the incident and for knowledge sharing.

I don't know if it's the same in PIA but what normally happens after such an incident is that the flight crew would file an Air Safety Report (ASR) describing what happened. It is usually quite detailed. This would initially be dealt with internally by the airline, and then if the airline saw fit they would then invlove the other parties also. In this incident I'm pretty sure PIA would do just that.

No one should be blamed for this incident. It's best to learn and move on and count your blessings. The situation could have ended far worse.

hi to all,

first off all guys thanks to Allah that there is no injuries no died person. This report shocks me too much bcz my aunty was gone to the Milan Malpensa international airport to take the same plane to go to lahore, but but she returned back home bcz the flight was delayed to today 4 july 2008 at 20:00 with a subtitled plane PK 00750, coming from Manchester to islamabad.

infact my aunty left milan today at 20:15 and her husband came to my home just 20 minutes ago and he said that there were two 777-300 PIA's at same time at milan which was taking off with 2 hour of different each other.

i hope AP-bhx come back soon in our fleet.

billy from milan Italy

Flight PK-770 Passengers Arrive In Lahore Today

LAHORE, July 4: The 121 PIA passengers and crew whose plane had to make an emergency landing at Milan, Italy, owing to rough weather on Thursday, will arrive in Lahore on Saturday morning.

The PIA flight PK-770 Paris-Milan-Lahore was stuck in an air pocket that reportedly damaged the aircraft. All 121 passengers remained safe during the emergency landing. A spokesperson told DAWN that PIA would bring the passengers back through two scheduled flights.

The first flight PK-710 would arrive at Allama Iqbal International Airport at 7:45AM and PK-750 at 9:00AM, she said, adding some 103 passengers who were to board the plane from Milan to Lahore would also arrive here through two flights.

On the direction of PIA Managing Director Capt. Aijaz Haroon, she said, the passengers in Milan had been provided boarding on airline's expenses.

It would be interesting to get some feedback from the passangers about their experience and how they felt.

Will PIA replace certain 777 flights to Saudi Arabia with 747-300 flights to make up for the grounded AP-BHX??

PIA in fact should close down all its operations and do some soul searching. This is what we all should be doing right now.

Its been a shameless situation for too long - don't hold your breath for any soul searching.

I would like to Thank Allah Subnahwatallah for his blessings upon all souls that were aboard on this flight as it landed safely and no one sustained injuries. As some of us in the industry know that severe weather like this at times can not be predicted or foreseen before hand, i am sure this was the classic case in this situation. I also like to say that flight deck crew did very brave job as it wasn't easy one to make sure aircraft handled and landed safely after being hit by severe hail that literally damaged (dented) whole external surfaces of this aircraft.

I have seen aircrafts in past that went thorough this severity of weather being written off also ie: Air Transat's L1011 and Air Easy's or Easy Air's B737-300.

We will have to wait and see what recovery teams conclude from there series inspections of this aircraft and from what it sounds so far, it doesn't look good in PIA or this aircrafts favor. I am sure PIA will recover it's loss form all insurance companies in case this airframe is written off and will be able to buy or lease another aircraft and use this as spares source.
