PK 702 18 Dec Diverted to KHI

Post by TAILWIND »

PK 702 on 18 dec bound for ISB diverted to KHI. A relative on board later informed that about 30 mins before landing, when the plane was over Bannu, capt announced diversion to khi for operational reasons.
Cabin crew later informed passengers that there is no parking available at ISB. Flight landed in khi after two hrs, pax disembarked and flew to isb onboard another b777 after a 2 hour stay at khi.
If indeed it was a parking issue, shouldn't LHE be a better option.

Maybe AP-BGJ developed some technical fault?
