NewsPIA plane from Al-Hudaydah departs for Karachi with 502 Pakistanis
SANA’A: The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) plane has departed from the city of Al-Hudaydah in Yemen for Karachi with 502 Pakistanis on board.
There was no electricity at the airport in Al-Hudaydah and neither any working machinery, hence all paper work for passengers was done manually.
The stranded Pakistanis were delighted to see the airplane for their rescue and began clapping and shouting in excitement with “Pakistan Zindabad!”
The flight is expected to reach Karachi airport by 10:30 pm tonight.
The plane was sent on the special directives of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to bring Pakistanis back from the war-torn country.
Pakistanis had reached Al-Hudaydah from Sana'a in a convoy by road.
The remaining Pakistanis will be brought back in the next flight tomorrow.
