Pak-bound plane develops snag, lands in Jaipur

A Karachi-bound aircraft landed at the Jaipur International Airport Tuesday after a technical problem, an airport official said.

The pilot of the Cirrus SR20 plane sought permission to land following a door open warning.

The plane, on what was described as a chartered flight from Lucknow to Karachi, was not carrying any passengers.

The small plane can normally carry four or five passengers.

The aircraft flew for Karachi after a detailed examination that lasted for three hours, airport director J S Balhara said.
