there seems to be no safety culture at all @ airports in Pakistan. Every few months aircraft are damaged by vehicles.
Not only costly but also a major inconvenience to passengers....

[Abdullah]

I think, that B738 still out of operation?

[Abbas Ali]

Is it Corendon Airlines Boeing 737-8S3 registration TC-TJI?

Last flight it operated was PK-208 to Karachi from Dubai on December 4.
