A flight from Jeddah to Peshawar made an emergency landing at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore on Tuesday due to adverse weather conditions. The private flight, facing difficulties caused by the weather, landed in Lahore instead of its intended destination.
As a result, more than 300 passengers have been stranded inside the plane for the past eight hours, grappling with the unexpected situation.
In a separate incident on Sunday, an Indian passenger plane crashed in the Zibak district of Badakhshan province, Afghanistan. The Badakhshan Police Command reported that the plane had gone off the radar the previous night and subsequently crashed in the high mountains of the “Artillery” area in Zibak district.
According to Zabihullah Amiri, the head of the Department of Information and Culture of Badakhshan, the crash occurred in the mountains of Topkhana, spanning the districts of Kuran-Munjan and Zibak in Badakhshan province. A team has been dispatched to investigate the incident.
Meanwhile, a Russian plane, believed to be carrying six individuals, crashed in the mountainous northeastern region of Afghanistan, as announced by the air transport agency Rosaviatsia on Sunday. The Falcon 10, built by France’s Dassault in 1978 and owned by a private individual associated with Athletic Group, disappeared from radar on Saturday evening during a hospital flight from India to Uzbekistan and Russia.
The federal agency indicated that the search for the aircraft is ongoing, providing preliminary information about the presence of four crew members and two passengers on board.
