LAHORE: A significant safety concern has been raised after a National Airline (PIA) flight PK 306 landed in Lahore with one missing wheel.

According to sources, flight PK 306, which departed from Karachi to Lahore at 8 PM last night, landed with one of its front wheels missing. After the flight took off, some aircraft parts were found at Karachi Airport.

The spokesperson further mentioned that the final report will reveal the exact cause, but preliminary observations suggest that a potential FOD (Foreign Object Damage) on the Karachi runway may have caused the tire damage. However, the aircraft made a safe and smooth landing in Lahore, and the aircraft’s design allows for such occurrences.
