KUALA LUMPUR: A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft was “held back” in Malaysia over a legal dispute between the airline and a firm pending in a UK court.

  Aviation sources said that the aircraft was barred from taking off from the Kuala Lumpur airport and the passengers who were already on-board were off-loaded.  

The spokesperson said the passengers are being looked after and alternate arrangements for their travel have been finalised.  

“It is an unacceptable situation and PIA has engaged the support from Government of Pakistan to take up this matter using diplomatic channels,” he said.
