Abbas, there were 2 flights from Kuwait bound for Multan, PK8240 AP-BLD sch dep 1715 though not sure what time the flight departed as i went towards my gate from the boarding gate of PK8240.
Also, some passengers were on my flight had their companions on earlier flight whom told later that the flight was full load instead of 140 as announced earlier, my flight was almost full load though a few rows had mid seat blocked at the aft cabin to maintain social distancing. I have few pictures taken on board, will send you once i get out of quarantine facility in outskirts of Multan near Coca Cola factory.
