LAHORE: A Jeddah-bound PIA flight delayed for more than 24 hours caused a great deal of inconvenience to passengers.

The PK-7423 was scheduled to leave for Jeddah from the Allama Iqbal International Airport on Saturday 7pm.

The passengers protested against the PIA authorities for not informing beforehand about the delay.

A PIA spokesman said the passengers had been informed a day before the 24-hour delay in the flight.

"Those who got booking through travel agents could not get the information," he said.
