Despite extensive searches at both departure and arrival airports, authorities have yet to locate the missing component. Investigators are now working to determine whether the tyre detached mid-flight or if it was lost during takeoff. The pilots and crew were unaware of the issue at the time of landing, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the incident.

Following the discovery, the aircraft has been grounded indefinitely. PIA has also canceled its scheduled March 13 flight to Muscat, which was to be operated by the same Airbus A320. Technical teams are now conducting a thorough inspection to determine any additional safety risks before clearing the aircraft for future flights.

As authorities continue their investigation, aviation experts stress the importance of stringent safety checks to prevent similar incidents. The missing tyre remains unaccounted for, leaving unanswered questions about how the aircraft completed its journey without any apparent signs of distress. Further updates are expected as investigators analyze flight data and conduct technical examinations.
