According to him, the travelers were given lodging and minimal amenities in a neighboring hotel while plans were being made for their transfer to Islamabad.
The majority of the passengers aboard flight PK-942 were Umrah pilgrims, and the initial plan was for the aircraft to land in Islamabad on Sunday. However, 50 people had to be left behind in Jeddah due to the aircraft’s low capacity.
The spokesperson responded to the situation by promising that all of the passengers would be transported from Jeddah to Islamabad today by a special plane.
The passengers’ delays and inconveniences led to calls for higher authorities to step action.
Moreover, there were delays on flights from Jeddah to Karachi and from Karachi to Islamabad because of possible anomalies in PIA’s flight operations.
