Pak airliner lands at PAF base by mistake
LAHORE: A Pakistan International Airlines plane mistakenly landed at Pakistan Air Force’s Faisal base in Karachi on Friday, reported Geo news channel. Oopsie! The plane was later rerouted to Jinnah international terminal, added the channel. A PIA spokesperson told BBC Urdu that the Boeing 737 had been purchased on a lease and a Turkish pilot was flying the plane. The spokesperson said the PIA plane came from Dubai and it safely landed at PAF Faisal base around 12:45pm, reported BBC quoting Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) administration as saying that the plane landed at the air force base by mistake. PIA administration said the plane crew had been suspended and an investigation was underway to ascertain the cause of the incident. Let me guess, they weren't keeping track of where they were.
