ISLAMABAD: A flight of Pakistan International Airport (PIA) flew from Djibouti on Friday to bring home 176 Pakistanis who were stranded in war-torn Yemen.
Officials said the PIA airbus PK-7003, which flew from Karachi airport in Friday’s wee hours, is expected to land in Islamabad at 1pm today.
The Pakistanis were rescued from Aden port city of Yemen through a Chinese naval ship yesterday.
Owing to the dilapidated security conditions in Aden, the Chinese ship docked in the open sea near Aden and evacuees were shuttled to the ship on board small boats.
