According to following news report, the aircraft during landing skidded due to wet runway and used emergency brakes. Peshawar Airport had received light rain last night.



Reports of damage suffered by the aircraft have been denied by Pakistan CAA on another news channel.

From news report on following link, seems cover of an engine of the aircraft received minor damage or got scratched/scraped by ground surface during landing. The A330 landed at Peshawar in rain, skidded and crossed runway 'danger zone', according to the report.

Maybe it stopped on runway end safety area or overran it?

Blood samples of cockpit crew have been taken for medical tests.

Maybe the aircraft seen in the background in this April 6 footage made at Peshawar Airport is Gulf Air Airbus A330-243 registration A9C-KD involved in this incident.





Another Gulf Air aircraft seen in the background here is probably airline's Airbus A321-231 registration A9C-CB that landed at Peshawar Airport at 3:14 PM as flight GF-786 from Bahrain today. Also seen is Serene Air Boeing 737-8GJ registration AP-BNC that landed at Peshawar Airport at 3:25 PM as flight ER-550 from Karachi.
