A historic road transport of a retired Airbus 310 passenger plane from Karachi to Hyderabad caught the public’s eye today. The large aircraft, auctioned by the Civil Aviation Authority, was carefully moved overland using special trucks and trolleys, making it the first time a passenger plane of this size has been transported by road in Pakistan.
Travelers on the motorway were both surprised and excited, many stopping to snap photos as the plane passed by at a slow, controlled speed. The motorway police monitored the entire journey, especially when the aircraft moved through the toll plaza, ensuring everything went smoothly and safely.
Once it reaches Hyderabad, the plane will be put to good use as a training resource at the Civil Aviation Training Institute. This move offers a unique opportunity for students and trainees in aviation to gain hands-on experience with an actual aircraft.
This event drew comparisons to similar overland transports in Saudi Arabia, where aircraft have been moved by road. Pakistan’s successful transportation of the Airbus 310 highlights both the coordination involved in moving such a large object and the country’s progress in aviation training resources.
The plane’s road journey sparked excitement along the way, providing a memorable sight for onlookers and marking a milestone in Pakistan’s aviation history.
