ISLAMABAD: Pakistan International Airline aircraft, that was stuck at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, has returned to Islamabad this morning, PIA spokesperson said in a statement.
The PIA plane left Islamabad for Kabul on Wednesday to bring back Pakistanis and foreign diplomats stranded in Kabul but was unable to fly back.
According to PIA spokesperson, it was the first international flight to take off from Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of Kabul.
“Pakistanis, foreign diplomats, and officials from important international institutions were aboard the flight,” said the airline’s spokesperson adding that the PIA chief executive Arshad Malik was personally overseeing the situation.
The details about the aircraft and flight have been kept hidden for security reasons.
It is pertinent to mention here that another PIA aircraft flew back safely to Pakistan from from Kabul as chaos descended at the airport.
