PK758 delayed

Post by Dr747 »

PK758 is supposed to be operated by AP-BMG which arrived into LHR about two hours before the scheduled time for PK758. It seems that the flight is still in LHR. Does anyone know why?

Departures were blocked for some reason at the airport, with images coming in off aircraft lineups on the taxiways with their engines shut off due to the delays. Don't know the exact reason though.

Found it, due lightening strikes around the airfield and bad weather.

Thanks, however there was a further delay even after the other flights took off (if you see the departures from LHR for that day). Apparently it was due to CM of Punjab being booked onto the same flight and as per usual VIP culture he was late in returning for his flight.

Less tax dollars are wasted with few hour delay vs if he flew on private airplane, as does Nawaz.

According to news channels, Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived in Lahore from London today.

Probably PIA flight PK-758 from London performed by Boeing 777-240ER registration AP-BHX that landed at Lahore Airport at 6:03 AM today.
