A PIA spokesman confirmed that the Boeing 777 (Flight 9895) had been stopped at Kuala Lumpur Airport. He said there were 170 passengers on the flight who were still being held at the airport.
A statement issued by PIA said that the issue of lease payment between PIA and an Irish company Aircap had been going on for some time and in the same case a Malaysian court had ordered to stop the plane. Given
PIA spokesman Abdullah Khan told the media that the reason for stopping the flight was a matter of payment.
PIA's dispute with a company overpayments has been pending in a British court for the past six months. The same company went to a separate country and obtained a restraining order against PIA.
A Malaysian court has ruled unilaterally that the flight has been canceled. The local court there has ruled without hearing the PIA's position or giving notice. And the court cannot rule unilaterally. We are trying to resolve the issue through the Attorney General and the embassy.
In a video statement, the spokesman said that as far as the court proceedings were concerned, he would take action in the Malaysian court after the holiday.
Tahir Imran, a journalist overseeing the aviation and aviation affairs department, said: "I have never seen this happen before with a PIA flight.
"The planes are leased, but no flights have been stopped at the airport."
He said that usually a leasing company "adopts such an attitude when an aircraft is about to take off."
Tahir Imran said that this was also an irresponsible move by the PIA because why was the ship involved in a dispute sent to another country?
So far, a PIA spokesman says 170 passengers are being sent back to Pakistan on Emirates flights. And their return will be possible tomorrow afternoon.
However, Pakistan's Foreign Office spokesman Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said that Pakistan's High Commission in Malaysia was busy handling the matter. He said that passengers would leave Kuala Lumpur on Emirates Flight EK343 for Pakistan till night.
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Political Relations Shahbaz Gul has tried to explain the incident in several tweets.
"The plane, which was stopped in Malaysia, was leased 12 years ago," he said. Due to Corona, the aircraft has not been in use in recent months, as the PIA, which has reduced rates around the world due to Corona, was also negotiating with them on new rates.
The whole thing had nothing to do with Malaysia. The leasing company was not from Malaysia and no case was pending there. The plane was stopped by a sudden stop order.
"One of the procedures is to bring the crew along with the ship, which is called wet lease. And the second method is dry lease, under which only the ship is leased.
He said that PIA leases aircraft for six years. This is done by placing an advertisement in the newspaper and then looking at the company ships, looking at a reasonable price.
Talking about Air Cape, Imran said, "PIA buys this aircraft on a monthly rent and all these matters are settled under one agreement."
Earlier, PIA had leased five ATRs. In 2015, the PML-N government bought 12 A320 aircraft.
" it means that the issues between the two parties cannot be resolved."Now, if the leasing company is taking such a big step
