Would of given the passengers a fright! :diablo:

only 81 passengers on board. 😮 maybe PIA should consider dropping either the LHR or MAN, Preferably LHR because i need photo opotiunities 🙂 , flights to Pakistan because i don’t think they’re loading the aircraft enough.

This is a common occurrence with PIA lately; didn’t they have a similar issue last week over Europe? And also over Russian airspace the other month.
