PIA Flight PK-758 Experiences Problem During Landing

Post by Abbas Ali »

According to news sources, an aircraft operating PIA flight PK-758 from London experienced landing gear problem during landing at Lahore Airport.

The aircraft landed on airport's secondary Runway 36L/18R. The airport's primary Runway 36R/18L is not operational due to Shaheen Air Boeing 737-400 (AP-BJN) incident on December 30.

At the moment both runways of the airport are unavailable for flight operations.

I think if for short time B777 lands on 36L there should be no problem as it has enough length to accommodate B777.(My opinion correct me if wrong).

It is not a matter of rwy length, you have to consider the runway pavement strength

Runway 36R/18L concrete PCN 76/F/C/X/T.
Runway 36L/18R asphalt PCN 55/F/C/X/T.

More details for runway 36L/18R at following link:

Runway 36L/18R surface was not able to support AP-BGK landing gear, according to information with photo on following link:

http://avherald.com/h?article=47f95b98&opt=0

A former official of Lahore Airport was telling a local news channel that Runway 36L/18R is not suitable for handling flights of aircraft like Boeing 777 and Runway 36L/18R ends also do not have enough space to allow turns by bigger aircraft like Boeing 777.

Probably that's why airlines like Saudia and Etihad Airways opted not to send their Boeing 777 aircraft for landing on Runway 36L/18R.

However, Emirates Boeing 777-21H registration A6-EMF performed Dubai to Lahore flight EK-622 on December 31, according to information on following link:
