Karachi airport is currently hosting three grounded foreign aircraft following a series of separate incidents.
According to sources, one of the incidents involved an international courier company’s cargo plane, which was struck by a loader truck on the tarmac at the Karachi airport.
The collision caused damage to the aircraft, particularly breaking the left-wing lights and impacting three structural points.
The aircraft has not yet undergone repairs, and a specialized technical team from abroad is expected to arrive in Karachi soon to commence restoration work.
In a separate case, a Turkish Airlines aircraft remains parked in the airport’s apron area. It was grounded after a bird strike damaged one of its engines.
A Saudia Airlines plane is also still stationed at Karachi Airport after it made an emergency landing due to an engine fire warning.
