Bomb hoax: emergency landing at Lahore airport
A hoax bomb call briefly disrupted services at the Lahore airport on Sunday, after External Affairs Minister SM Krishna's special plane took off.
While the bomb threat at a Karachi-bound PIA flight turned out to be a hoax, another Pakistan International Airlines flight made an emergency landing at the airport minutes after Krishna's departure. According to officials, a PIA flight going from Islamabad to Karachi had to make an emergency landing in Lahore after the Boeing was hit by a bird. “The bird hit the pilot's window.
The pilot made a safe emergency landing and all 181 passengers on board remained unhurt,” a PIA spokesman told PTI.
