It has probably departed at around 9:30 pm today. I saw a B737-300 departing Karachi, when it was flying over my house. That 737 appeared to be in Air Indus colours

Photo on following link, apparently shows Air Indus Boeing 737-300 registration AP-BLE in basic colours of Jordan Aviation undergoing maintenance checks at PIA Engineering hangar at Karachi Airport. Maybe the aircraft getting ready to leave Pakistan?
