PIA apologised in its statement also wrote that “passengers baggage will arrive on 15th July and it will be sent to passengers houses.” Earlier PIA cancelled its flight due to technical reasons and left passengers wondering for 6 hours without any answers. But PIA did not mention anything about the technical issue.

Leading aviation website Aviation Herald claimed in a news update on 13 June that “Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration AP-BMH performing flight PK-852 from Islamabad (Pakistan) to Beijing (China), departed Islamabad’s runway 10R but burst a tyre on departure. The aircraft climbed out and continued to Beijing for a safe landing about 5:15 hours after departure. The aircraft was unable to depart for the next sector to Tokyo Narita (Japan) due to the tyre damage and is still on the ground in Beijing about 45 hours after landing.”
