As per the sources, 25 international passengers were also on this flight’s passenger manifest. The canceled flight was from Islamabad to Gilgit PK-607 that was scheduled to take off today at 7 am.
Morons, before you create click bait pages, learn the process. All flights to Northern Areas are subject to weather and backlog. Those idiotic ministers know that. Travel by road, if plane is not avialable
Lol. You know nothing about PIA, they also cancel if they have to route this plane to somewhere else. This is because they have grounded many planes in the last few years
Other airlines do that too, its no surprise, but in northern areas it is different.
