| [Pak Daily Times] A Pakistain International Airlines (PIA) flight PK-782, which was forced to make an emergency landing in Sweden on Saturday due to a bomb hoax, arrived safely at the Jinnah International Airport on Sunday with all 254 passengers on board. The Airbus, flying from Canada, was cordoned off at the Stockholm airport and allowed to depart for Karachi after a 16-hour delay following security clearance. A PIA front man said the passengers were received by Passenger Handling Services General Manager Aijaz Mazhar and other bigshots of the PIA. In Sweden, the aircraft had remained on ground for about nine and a half hours, while the passengers remained in the international transit lounge for six hours as Swedish authorities searched the plane. |
