PIA Airbus A320 Sialkot to Dubai Flight PK-179 Returns to Sialkot

Post by A310 »

DXB bound AP-BOM returned to SKT this morning. It’s probably heading to Lahore now as PK-8385. I wonder why it didn’t divert to Multan or Lahore initially.

Dubai bound flights were diverted today due to adverse weather conditions. That’s why 179 returned to Sialkot to drop off the passengers. Similarly PK-283 PEW-DXB diverted to Karachi today and later returned to Peshawar to drop off the passengers. BLS, however, yesterday landed back at Doha.
