“The factual position is that during the flight there was an indication of the smoke signal in the cargo compartment on the control panel of the aircraft A320,” he said.
However, the pilot as per Standard Safety Procedure operated fire bottles (extinguisher) and keeping in view the safety guidelines the aircraft made a technical landing at Lahore airport, he added.
After landing, the passengers were arrived in port and taken to the lounge for breakfast. In the meantime, entire aircraft especially the cargo compartment was carefully checked and no trace of any fire or smoke was detected.
