A woman passenger aboard a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight sparked panic after she mistakenly opened the emergency exit door of the aircraft thinking it led to the toilet.
The national carrier said the plane was on the runaway of the Manchester airport early on Saturday when the woman pressed the button, opening the emergency exit door.
“The PIA flight, PK 702, from Manchester to Islamabad was delayed by seven hours. The departure was delayed on Friday night when a passenger erroneously opened the emergency exit causing the emergency chute to activate,” said a PIA spokesperson.
