LAHORE, Oct 21: The Pakistan International Airlines in a statement says the departure of PK-303 on Saturday (Oct 20) from Lahore to Karachi was rescheduled because of the closure of Jinnah terminal from 1pm to 3pm and some technical problem in the plane.

The spokesman said the flight takeoff was rescheduled so that it should land in Karachi after 3pm.

“Safety is paramount for PIA in operation of flights. The management has issued strict instructions to its pilots and engineers to be more vigilant and not to compromise on safety come what may,” the spokesman said.
