Jeddah: A fire broke out on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Boeing aircraft during its departure from Jeddah to Lahore.
The incident occurred on flight PK 760 last night when a fire ignited in the AP unit on the runway attached to the aircraft.
The affected plane had previously arrived in Jeddah from Multan and was scheduled to depart for Lahore at 9 PM on the night of the incident.
Following the fire, the flight's departure was halted, and approximately 275 passengers present at the airport were relocated to a hotel.
As a result of the incident, the Jeddah to Lahore flight is expected to be delayed by 28 hours, with passengers anticipated to depart at 11 PM today.
