The PIA 777 was seized on a local Malaysian court’s order over the non-payment of a $14 million aircraft lease dues. The aircraft was supposed to fly back to Islamabad having operated flight 895 from Karachi to Kuala Lumpur. The aircraft was reportedly seized after passengers were already on board.
“Passengers were already on board, and the pilot was about to take off, but Malaysian civil aviation authorities directed the pilot to stop the plane and get off it along with all the passengers,” said PIA officials.
