The Pakistan Airports Authority has launched an investigation into the matter.
A truck collided with a plane parked on the tarmac area at Karachi Airport.
According to reports, the plane of an international cargo company was parked for routine loading/unloading.
The plane parked in the parking lot was suddenly hit by a loader truck. It is possible that the brakes of the loader truck failed due to the wet surface.
The airside officials of the Pakistan Airports Authority have started an investigation into the matter.
On the other hand, due to monsoon rains, a large number of insects have appeared on the runway and its surroundings of Karachi Airport. The airport administration has started spraying the runway.
After the rain on the runway, birds that eat insects are a big threat to the planes. Yesterday too, there were incidents of birds colliding with 2 planes at Karachi Airport.
According to airport officials, fumigation has been started at Karachi Airport for safe flight operations, while airline captains have been instructed to exercise extreme caution during landing and take-off at Karachi Airport.
It should be noted that rain has been predicted in Karachi Airport and its surroundings until July 4.
According to airport officials, light aircraft made by Cessna and Piper were stopped from flying today due to rain. Lightweight aircraft have difficulty maintaining visibility and balance in the air during rainy weather.
The airport authority has stopped small training aircraft with single engines from flying as a precautionary measure.
According to sources, lightweight aircraft have also been instructed to park in a safe place with weights attached to the wings.
