Dedicated PIA aircraft to bring Prime Minister home

KARACHI: A dedicated Pakistan International Airline Boeing 777 aircraft will bring home the prime minister and his camp office from London.

A temporary camp office had been set up in London where the prime minister was recovering from a heart surgery.

The PIA aircraft will bring the entire camp office, the prime minister and the first lady Kulsoom Nawaz back to Pakistan, a PIA spokesperson said.

?The prime minister is fit to travel and is healthy,? the spokesman added.

He added that in regular PIA flights the number of seats are less. ?So there was no option but to depute a dedicated aircraft,? he added.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will leave London at 10 AM UK-time. He is expected to land in Lahore on Sunday.

The dedicated aircraft will reach Karachi from Torronto today after which it will set off for London, sources said.

Special changes will be made in the aircraft to make it comfortable for the prime minister's travel.

The prime minister consulted with his doctors thrice after his open heart surgery in London on May 31.
