Incident: PIA B772 at Karachi on Jul 11th 2014, engine shut down in flight

A PIA Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration AP-BGL performing flight PK-787 from Karachi (Pakistan) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was climbing out of Karachi's runway 25L when the crew stopped the climb at FL250 reporting the left hand engine (GE90) needed to be shut down due to engine oil depletion. The aircraft returned to Karachi for a safe landing on runway 25L about 90 minutes after departure.

A replacement Boeing 777-300 registration AP-BHV reached London with a delay of 3.5 hours.

3.5 hour delay - not bad at all considering the circumstances.
