Dubai-bound Shaheen Air flight narrowly escapes crash at Lahore airport

A Dubai-bound Shaheen Air flight narrowly escaped a crash on Thursday when its tyres burst just before takeoff at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.

According to reports, Shaheen Air flight’s three tyres burst seconds before takeoff, forcing the pilot to keep the plane on the runway. No loss of life was reported.

Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) personnel as well as engineers of Shaheen Air reached the spot and started rescue activities.

Following the incident, CAA announced the primary runway of Lahore airport has been closed for a brief period of time.

This is not the first time a Shaheen Air flight has met with an accident. In November last year, a Lahore-bound Shaheen Air flight, carrying 121 passengers and crew members, had made an ‘emergency landing’ at the Lahore airport as the aircraft skidded off the runway. The CAA had accused the pilot of the passenger flight of being drunk and fatigued as he flew the plane.

“The allowed blood alcohol concentration level for pilots is 0.03, but the [flight NL-142] pilot’s was 0.83 at the time [of the crash],” a CAA official said.

Earlier this year, a pilot of Shaheen Air passenger plane refused to fly the aircraft after he found a hole in one of the wings of the plane seconds before departing for Saudi Arabia from Peshawar.

An official at Bacha Khan International Airport said , around 330 passengers were scheduled to depart from the airport on flight NL-721 at 10:15pm on Monday, to reach Jeddah. However, when the pilot reached the cockpit, he saw one of the wings had a hole in it and could possibly crash seconds after taking off from the runway.
