A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane with 98 people onboard crashed in a residential area in Karachi near the city’s Jinnah International Airport on Friday, an official of the flag carrier said, but did not confirm any casualties.
The crash took place in the city’s Model Colony area, reports Dawn news.
PIA spokesperson Abdul Sattar confirmed the crash and added that the flight A-320 was carrying 90 passengers and eight crew members. The A320 Airbus was flying from Lahore to Karachi.
“Saying anything right now would be premature. Our crew is trained to handle emergency landings.
All my prayers are with the families. We will continue to provide information in a transparent manner,” he said in a statement.
