A Dubai-bound flight has been cancelled after a bird hit one of its engines, leaving it unflyable.

A Pakistan International Airline flight took off the Faisalabad airport when the bird hit made its pilot apply brakes, leaving its two tyres flat.

All 145 passengers remained safe, authorities said, adding that the flight was cancelled as it could not be able to take off.  According to PIA officials, the flight will depart tomorrow.
