PIA flight PK-370 was due to depart at around 7pm and scheduled to land in Islamabad around 9pm. However the flight was delayed for over two hours and eight to 10 passengers waited near the exit door of the aircraft while PIA crew waited for the VIP guests.
While the crew did not initially reveal the identity of the VIP passenger, claiming that technical issues were the cause of the delay, some members of the crew later revealed that they were waiting for Senator Rehman Malik.
