According to news sources, plan to send to a PIA aircraft to Istanbul Ataturk Airport to evacuate around 150 stranded Pakistanis is being considered.

Flight operations were disturbed/disrupted at the airport due to political situation in Turkey last night. These Pakistanis were travelling between Pakistan and Europe/America via Istanbul.

A PIA Boeing 777 will be sent to Istanbul after completion of formalities for the special flight.

Why send a 777 for 150 people? An A310 or A320 would do fine
