Pakistan’s national airline PIA has been
undergoing many incidents in the past due to its poor maintenance and
management issues. For which the airline has been facing constant criticism and
people have kept their eyes strictly on the airline. And yet another incident
takes place showing the irresponsibility of PIA and its crew.
The plane that was landing on the runway of
Gilgit Airport skidded off and failed at safe landing. It was an ATR passenger
plane which bore the consequences of the negligence.
The accident could have been a major one had
the pilot not gained control of it. Passengers traveling in the ATR-42 were
marked safe in this incident which took place on Saturday. The news of the
safety of passengers was given out by the flight's spokesperson Mashhood Tajwar.
It was the skillfulness of the pilot who
effectively regained control of the plane after it slightly slid off the track into
the unpaved area during landing. However, it was a major threat to the safety
of the 53 people that the airline was carrying including the crew members so
the orders for investigations have been issued by the CEO of PIA.
But a source has informed the media that the incident had also occurred due to the misjudgment of the pilots in the first a place who later successfully managed to regain control.

The source claimed that if the pilots would
have landed the current with the aircraft touching down the runway at the
recommended portion, there is no way that this incident would have taken place
where the plane skidded off the runway unless the brakes would have failed.
PK-605 was flying from Islamabad to Gilgit
according to Gilgit Deputy Commissioner. The plane came to halt near the tarmac
in the grassy area. It was found resting on its right side post halt.
