PM Imran Khan to arrive in Pakistan via third country, will have brief stopover midway

ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Imran Khan is enroute to Jeddah on a Saudi Airlines commercial flight.

After a brief layover, the premier will depart for Pakistan and is expected to reach on Sunday evening.

On Friday night, a plane carrying Prime Minister Imran Khan and his entourage had returned to New York after developing a technical fault while heading to Pakistan.

The prime minister had taken off from New York's Kennedy International Airport on Friday evening in a special jet placed at his disposal by the Saudi government, but it flew back in a couple of hours to have the problem fixed.
