PIA 777L operating Lahore-Toronto diverted to Brodo, Norway for unknown reason few days back.

A Lahore (LHE) to Toronto (YYZ) passenger plane had to make an emergency landing at Bodø Airport (BOO) in Norway on Sunday evening due to a medical situation on board.

The Boeing 777-200LR (AP-BGY) operating flight PK797 diverted its route near Svalbard and landed safely in Bodø. A patient and her companion were taken to the hospital by medical personnel.

Bodø is a common emergency landing spot for transatlantic flights due to its suitable runway length. The pilot has the final decision on whether to land at Bodø in case of emergencies. The plane did take off again after the medical situation was addressed.
