Passengers Protest After PIA Karachi-Lahore Flight Delayed by Over 5 Hours

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight PK302, scheduled to depart from Karachi to Lahore on Saturday, was delayed by more than five hours, sparking frustration among passengers. Originally set to leave at 7:00 AM, the flight finally took off at 12:20 AM, leaving over 150 passengers stranded and upset.

The departure time was revised three times throughout the day, leading to growing discontent. Passengers at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport voiced their anger and staged protests due to the repeated delays and lack of communication.

Despite the extended wait, the flight eventually left Karachi late in the night, but the airline did not provide a clear explanation for the cause of the delay.
