Re: PIA Dubai to Lahore Flight PK-204 Lands in Karachi Due to Cracked Cockpit Windshield
According to PIA spokesperson, flight 204 diverted to Karachi due to bad weather in/around Lahore. Weather warning till 8:00 PM was issued for Lahore Airport.
Maybe crack in windshield developed after decision to divert flight to Karachi was taken? A number of channels are reporting that PK-204 landed in Karachi due to technical reason/cracked windshield.
Apparently flight operations have returned to normalcy at Lahore Airport. The airport's website www.lahoreairport.com.pk and www.flightradar24.com show flights departing and arriving at Lahore Airport. Seems flights operation in Lahore was affected somewhere between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
