KARACHI: In a second such incident within a month, an Indian aircraft heading to Hyderabad Deccan from Sharjah with 186 passengers on board made an emergency landing at the Karachi Airport in the wee hours of Sunday.
An Airbus A-320 of the Indian Airline IndiGo was diverted towards Karachi after its pilots observed a fault in one of its engines. The plane landed at the Jinnah International Airport after obtaining permission from the air traffic control at around 2:15am early on Sunday.
