But according to PIA sources “the airport runway maintenance work is in progress. The airport authorities asked PIA to use shorter runway with weight penalty which meant offloading passengers. The pilot refused to do to as all the passengers were boarded and it would take a long time to offload passengers as well as their luggage. So after back and forth, the permission was obtained and the plane has just taken off.
