Karachi: A Karachi-bound flight of a private airline on Saturday narrowly escaped a disaster when a bird struck the aircraft’s engine while it was on the taxiway preparing for takeoff, ARY News reported.
According to initial reports, the incident caused damage to one engine of Airblue’s Airbus A320 from Islamabad to Karachi, prompting authorities to ground the aircraft.
