Fri Mar 14 09:40:30 UTC 2025: ## PIA Flight Lands in Lahore Missing a Wheel
**Lahore, Pakistan – March 14, 2025** – A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) domestic flight landed safely at Lahore airport on Thursday despite being missing one of its rear wheels, officials confirmed today. Flight PK-306, traveling from Karachi to Lahore, arrived without incident, with passengers disembarking normally. The missing wheel was discovered during a post-landing inspection by the captain.
A PIA spokesperson stated that the aircraft is designed to handle such contingencies and that passenger safety was not compromised. The airline has launched an investigation to determine whether the wheel was missing from takeoff or detached during flight. Fragments of a wheel have been found at the Karachi airport, suggesting the latter possibility. The investigation will also explore the possibility of theft, although this is considered unlikely. The Lahore airport and PIA flight safety teams are collaborating on the investigation and are expected to release a full report shortly.
