The airline staffers offered to take the passengers to their desired destination by a bus. However, the passengers turned down the offer and refused to leave the plane.




Following this, the airline staffers switched off the plane's air conditioning system, resulting in suffocation of passengers, including minors, in the plane.


The approximate distance from Lahore to Rahim Yar Khan is 624.5 km.



The passengers said that they had asked the airlines to drop them at Multan Airport which is 292 kilometres away from Rahim Yar Khan.

Everywhere in the world planes land at alternate airports if weather is bad at the destination airport. however once the weather clears the airline flies the passengers to the destination. If someone has an emergency airlines provide alternate travel arrangements
