Pakistan plane lands in Malaysia after bomb alert

A Pakistan International Airlines plane with 164 passengers on board has landed at Kuala Lumpur airport after a bomb alert, officials said Thursday.

The scheduled flight from the Pakistani city of Lahore to the Malaysian capital landed at 9:24 pm (1424 GMT) on Wednesday, officials said, after a bomb threat was received while it was in mid-air.

“At 8:45 pm (1345 GMT) Malaysia Airports received information from Pakistan International Airline Headquarters informing of an aircraft bomb warning for Airbus 313 Flight PK898 from Lahore,” the airport authorities said in a statement.

“The flight PK898 safely landed…at 9.24pm. The airline confirmed a total of 164 passengers, 3 cockpit crew and 10 cabin crew on board.”

Airport authorities say the aircraft has been parked at an isolated bay at the airport while police investigate.

The landing follows an earlier alert that forced another PIA plane to land at Istanbul’s Ataturk airport on Wednesday.
