Islamabad: In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Hajj flight PK839, which had departed from Karachi for Jeddah at 10 pm, made an emergency landing at Riyadh Airport.

The flight was carrying 329 passengers.

According to a PIA spokesperson, the emergency landing was necessitated by a warning of high temperature in the cargo cabin of the aircraft during the flight.

As a precautionary measure, the flight was diverted to Riyadh Airport from its original destination of Jeddah.
