Does anyone know what's keeping PK713 KHI-IAH on the ground in KHI so long this morning? It was sceduled to leave KHI at 0245 but the Call Center say it won't leave till about 9:40 a.m.

I'm worried because the good Mrs. Salampaks and Jr. Salampaks' No's 1,2 and 3 are at KHI and strangely out of contact.

Any info will be appreciated.

pia is face problem due top fog at isb, lhe and man airports due to that most of aircarft are running 5-10 hours behind the flight time, right now only 3 777 operating to noth america destination and since week end they are running late , that why aircarft comining from yyz will operate later.

best regrds

Thanks Muhammad Ali.

BTW, I called the contact centre twice and two different agents used the term "stuck-up" to describe why the aircraft was late. The first said "jahaz estuck up hogaya tha". Fair enough, maybe I can get a better explanation from someone else. "Sir, the plane is stuck up due to bad weather" was the second agent's response when I tried back an hour later. Is "stuck up" valid PIA vernacular to describe an aircraft that is delayed?

It was stuck up alright! PK713 scheduled to dep KHI at 0245 finally left at 1044, which will put it into IAH around 2330 - just after every last connection of the day to onward cities will have left. Bummer!
