Two flights of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) from Islamabad to Gilgit returned to the federal capital on Saturday after strong crosswinds prevented the planes to continue their journey in Gilgit.
A PIA spokesperson said when flights PK-603 and PK-605 arrived near Gilgit Airport a 15-nautical-mile cross-wind was running at that time and landing in that cross-wind could have been very difficult. “Both flights returned to Islamabad,” the PIA spokesman added.
