A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight recently landed on the wrong runway, raising concerns about aviation safety and operational protocols. The incident occurred when the pilot, reportedly miscommunicating with air traffic control, veered off the assigned landing path and touched down on an unapproved runway. Whilst no injuries were reported, the mishap has prompted an internal investigation by PIA and aviation authorities. Critics argue this reflects ongoing issues within the airline, including pilot training and adherence to safety standards. PIA has faced scrutiny in the past, and this latest incident underscores the urgency for improved oversight and procedural compliance.
