A technical failure occurred on private airline flight ER-807 from Islamabad to Riyadh which was scheduled to depart at 3.30 am.
Sources claimed there were 194 passengers on the flight and now passengers were transferred to the lounge.
Sources further claimed the technical team was busy fixing the malfunction of the plane.
Earlier on Friday, a Toronto-bound Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight was diverted to Karachi due to a “technical fault” it encountered after the take-off, a PIA spokesperson.
According to PIA spokesperson Abdullah Khan, the flight PK-781 departed from the Islamabad late Friday.
The technical fault with the aircraft was “minor,” but the captain preferred to return instead of continuing the long flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
“The decision to bring the plane to Karachi was made due to better arrangements at the engineering base and availability of spare parts,” Khan said in a statement.
