Listen to the article

A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilot is under scrutiny after landing a plane on the wrong runway.

Sources say the captain of flight PK 150 traveling from Dammam to Multan mistakenly landed the plane on a wrong runway, Express News reported.

The flight had initially been diverted to Lahore Airport due to bad weather conditions and fog in Multan.

Instead of landing on the main runway, the plane landed on runway 36L, where the runway lights were off at the time.

In response to the error, PIA’s management has grounded both the captain and the first officer and initiated an investigation into the incident.

A PIA spokesperson confirmed that action has been taken against the concerned pilot and first officer and further action will be taken once the investigation is complete.
