LAHORE: A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight bound for Canada had to turn back to Pakistan midway due to a hydraulic dysfunction during the trip, The News reported.

The flight — PK-797 — was flying over Russia when a technical problem in the aircraft’s hydraulic system issue was discovered.

Originally scheduled to depart from Lahore for Toronto on the night between Sunday and Monday, the flight was forced to return to Allama Iqbal International Airport after being recalled from Russian airspace.

Flight tracking data revealed that the Boeing 777-240(LR) aircraft took off from Lahore at 4:30am on Monday and landed at the same airport at 1:30pm.

According to the PIA spokesman, due to the delay in the repair of the plane, the passengers of this flight would be sent to Toronto through an alternative flight.

The spokesperson said that PIA engineers would inspect the aircraft and remove the defect.

According to the spokesman, the Boeing 777 aircraft made a normal landing at Lahore airport on its return.
