LAHORE: A Saudi Airline flight from Jeddah to Lahore remained in airspace over Kasur, Pattoki and Okara due to bad weather.
The pilot of the aircraft could not land the airplane for two and a half hours. Later, the Saudi flight was rerouted to touch down at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore.
The air traffic controller asked the pilot to deflect the airplane to Multan or the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, but he reportedly refused and sought permission to touch down at the Lahore airport.
