TIANJIN: A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight made an emergency landing at China's Tianjin airport Friday, following a bomb hoax.
After taking off from Beijing, flight PK-852 was en route Tokyo when it made the emergency landing in Tianjin amid a bomb scare, PIA spokesman Danial Gilani told Dawn.com.
The information about the presence of the bomb originated in China, said Gilani. The source of the bomb threat is being probed by Chinese authorities.
At Tianjin, the plane was searched and passengers made to disembark, following which Chinese authorities gave clearance to the plane to take off for Tokyo.
PIA flight 852 had departed from Islamabad for Beijing, from where it was scheduled to reach Tokyo after a brief stopover in China.

why other private air liners in Pakistan are not threatened with bomb hoaxes, or never used for smuggling or other evil purposes, why alone PIA is being targeted and garlanded with such royal treatment ?.

By the way, this never went to Tokyo. We were offloaded at Beijing airport and left unattended. PIA spokesman is lieing. We were loaded on China Air flight number CA925. The pia staff didnt request Muslim food for us. We didn't have breakfast and we couldn't have lunch either. I really would like a full refund and compensation for the constant lies in flight and incompetence of the ground staff.
