Lahore : A Fly Jinnah Airlines flight executed an emergency landing at Lahore airport after catching fire, as reported by a private TV channel on Monday.
Sources indicated that the pilot of the Lahore-bound flight P846 issued a Mayday call after detecting a fire in the cargo area.
More than 160 passengers, including women and children, were on board, sources added.
Upon landing, the pilot was instructed to open all doors and deploy emergency slides, ensuring the passengers’ safety.
