Air China 777 at Karachi

Post by hasan saleem »

Saw an Air China 777 land at Karachi at around 1330 hrs. I dont think there is any scheduled flight arriving at Karachi at this time. Its scheduled flight lands at 2310 as CCA-945 and that to is usually a 767. Any idea what was this 777 doing in karachi.

Normally CA use 757 via Chengdu.
Shame on PIA chairman, managing director, board of directors, staff, designers and all others related to the new livery, who have contributed to further ruination of this once prestigious airlines image.

Well like you said it landed and parked at the international satellite so it could either have been a medical emergency or some technical problem with the a/c and they had to disembark some or all of the pax.

i flew their 767 back in 2005. I flew from Kuwait to Karachi from Karachi the flight was bound onwards to Bejieng.

I had missed my flight so after 16 hours at Kuwait airport, I was booked on this flight by a PIA staff member.

Well Air China operate B777 on KHI for their hajj operation. Last year I was in Line Maintenace of PIA and for many times during hajj season I did the Arrival/Departure of Air China B777. I remember that on Thursday night they schedule 3 B777 to Khi just for refueling. And one interesting thing that Air China B777 pilots start both the engine at same time.
