The Istanbul-bound aircraft turned back shortly after takeoff when a fault was detected.
As per airport sources, after receiving prompt clearance, the pilot safely landed the aircraft back at Lahore Airport.
Following the landing, the aircraft was moved to the parking area, where engineers began a technical inspection.
