Today, PIA Boeing 777-200ER registration AP-BMH performing Peshawar to Jeddah flight PK-735 diverted to Karachi due to bird hit that damaged aircraft's radome. The aircraft that had departed from Peshawar at 5:23 PM landed in Karachi at 7:02 PM.
The Jeddah-bound flight PK-735 was scheduled to depart from Peshawar at 5:05 PM.
Apparently the Boeing 777 diverted to Karachi due to availability of spares in Karachi and restrictions on night flight operations at Peshawar Airport.

AP-BMH departed from Karachi at 9:12 PM to resume flight PK-735 to Jeddah. The Boeing 777 stayed in Karachi for two hours to undergo repairs/radome replacement.

Actually the Boeing 777 due to higher fuel burn than anticipated diverted to Karachi where the radome damaged by bird hit was identified as the cause of higher fuel burn.
