KARACHI: A Dubai-bound Indian flight with 138 passengers on board made an emergency landing at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport (JIAP) due to a technical fault developed during the journey.
The sources in the aviation department shared that SpiceJet flight SG-11 encountered a technical issue in Pakistan’s airspace and sought emergency landing permission at the Karachi airport.

They said that the permission was granted on humanitarian grounds at the request of the Indian pilot.
The passengers are not allowed to disembark.
Meanwhile, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said that the engineers are working to fix the fault and only after their clearance the aircraft will be allowed to fly.
In a statement, the Indian airline stated that SpiceJet B737 aircraft operating flight SG-11 (Delhi - Dubai) was diverted to Karachi due to an indicator light malfunctioning.
“The aircraft landed safely at Karachi. There was no earlier report of any malfunction with the aircraft. Passengers have been served refreshments.”
A replacement aircraft is being sent to Karachi that will take the passengers to Dubai, it added.

No good comments.Emergency can occur with any plane during its flight and nearest air port is always contacted for emrgy landing. This is duty of every country to help the people in such distress.

No need to be over sympathetic, they are no friends and have always wished ill upon us.

Allowing emergency landing is not just the correct procedure, it is safer too. Would you rather that an aircraft crashed into a densely populated area?

It wouldn't happen. Professionals from the same industry have a certain affinity for each other, and this is very noticeable among aviation professionals. An entrepreneur I know had imported a small aircraft. Due to its extremely limited range, the pilots had to make about half a dozen stops on the way to India. One of the stops was Karachi. They said that the customs and CAA staff were the friendliest and most cooperative in Pakistan among all the countries where they stopped.

Spicejet. Of all Indian carriers, it's probably the worst maintained.

The damn airline needs to be grounded. All signs of poor maintenance practices are showing up in the recent months. DGCA needs to wake up before some tragedy strikes. I don't allow any family member to book tickets on Spice Jet
