Meanwhile, the PIA has launched an investigation. PIA flight PK306 had left from Karachi en route to Lahore. Upon landing at the Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, it was discovered that one of the tires of the plane was missing.

“The issue was discovered during an inspection following the flight’s landing at the airport,” said a PIA spokesperson.

The interesting part of the whole episode is that despite the fact that more than 14 hours have passed since the flight landed in Lahore, there is no trace of the missing tire as it has not been found yet.
