Malaysian authorities on Friday seized a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Boeing-777 at the Kuala Lumpur Airport.

The PIA plane was seized on the orders of a local Malaysian court over the non-payment of aircraft lease dues, sources disclosed.

PIA had leased two aircraft, including the Boeing-777, from a Vietnamese company in 2015.

The plane was seized after passengers had already boarded the aircraft. The aircraft's 18-member staff also become stranded in Kuala Lumpur due to the seizure, and will now quarantine for 14 days as per protocols, the sources said.

Meanwhile, the national flag carrier said that the PIA aircraft has been held back on the orders of a local court in Malaysia which, it argued, has taken a one-sided decision pertaining to a legal dispute between PIA and another party pending in a UK court.

"The passengers are being looked after and alternate arrangements for their travel have been finalised," read a tweet shared by PIA on its official account.

That would be really awkward for the passengers However I don't see any justifiable reason to hold the crew in quarantine (or whatever they are calling it). They already get what they want (the plane).

Aint they are iron brothers like Pakistan and Malaysia ..... seems like Indian conspiracy

I think it relates to the NAB/NRO/Broadsheet fiasco playing out in UK courts right now.

There is topic on it to read more on (Shekhar Gupta also did good summary of it in the print on YT):

NAB is lying to the people of Pakistan: Broadsheet CEO

Malaysia is enforcing international court norms as it is tied into international finance system....so politically it has little choice (and in any case Mahathir kind of executive thinking has been booted from power).

Don't use ad-hominem ...it just takes away from any argument you are trying to make.

Let wider audience decide (for themselves) how they want to on w.r.t what other people say/present/assert.

Stick to attacking message (facts), not the person (emotions).

There is a bigger thing unfolding here in 2021 anyway.

You can watch it and see who is right and wrong about such things yourself. Simple and conclusive.
