Flight PK-751 is delayed due to a cracked cockpit window of the Boeing 777, according to City42 News channel.

Maybe the aircraft is PIA Boeing 777-240ER registration AP-BGJ that landed in Lahore today at 10:07 AM as flight PK-760 from Jeddah.

Noise restrictions at night time at Oslo Airport also played role in delayed departure of flight PK-751 from Lahore, according to a newspaper report.

My friend is onboard PK-752.

Info from him :

AP-BGJ landed in CPH around 08:30am and was planned to depart around 09:30am.
A ground vehicle hit the planes front fuselage and made a dent which caused further delay.
It took PIA appr. 2 hours to get clearence from Karachi to fix the plane in CPH and at that time passangers got out of the plane for 20 minutes and then sent back into the plane as CPH didn't allow passangers to wait in the waiting lounge. There was no A/C and poeple felt like sitting in a sauna and dehydrated. Some children and elder passangers had vomiting, luckily my friend is a MD so he could help out the passangers.
After appr. 1 hour the plane was fixed and got clearence and the plane took off 15:36 DK time.

This is what I was told my him,

Almost 7 hours of wait in the plane ! that's hard

^ Thank you for the info. Was aircraft's APU not working and/or ground power unit not made available for the aircraft?

He told me that the Aircraft was totally shut down for all power for appr.
1 hour. That is time enough to heat up a plane with 250+ Pax.

At a time I spoke with him and he said hold on, there was an announcement made by the crew where they said '' The flight will go to Lahore first and then Karachi'' and then everyone started to clap. I Wonder if they planned to send the aircraft to Karachi straight from CPH
