MUSCAT / KARACHI, Feb 11: A Pakistan International Airlines plane crash-landed on the runway of Oman’s main airport on Monday, forcing the cancellation of all flights from the facility.

Muscat International Airport’s flight safety director Ali Al Zuwaidi said the pilot had reported no injuries among passengers or the crew.

“The PIA aircraft crashed on the runway after its landing gear collapsed,” he told Reuters. “We had to close the airport until the investigation is completed,” he said.

Mr Zuwaidi said the Boeing 737 flight had arrived from Islamabad.

A PIA spokesman said the Islamabad-Sialkot-Muscat flight PK 259, carrying 105 passengers, had landed safely at Muscat airport.

The return flight was operated with a delay after PIA arranged an alternative aircraft. A team of PIA engineers had left for Muscat, the spokesman added.—Agencies
