KARACHI: The pilots of PIA’s flight PK 785 have to make an emergency landing at Moscow airport, when a passenger suffered heart attack.
The passenger, Pervez Iqbal, was going to London from Islamabad. The plane was still air-borne when he complained of severe chest pain.
In line with duty, the PIA captain Abdul Aziz decided to make the medical emergency landing at the Moscow Airport at 6:30 PST.
The national flag carrier arranged an ambulance for the passenger which carried him to a hospital. Iqbal’s wife chose to stay with her husband so PIA also ensured that they receive their luggage.
The flight stayed at the Moscow airport for one hour and 45 minutes and took off for London at 8:30 PST. The flight is expected to land at Heathrow airport by 1920 GMT.
