A PIA Pakistan International Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration AP-BGZ performing flight PK-782 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Karachi (Pakistan), was enroute at FL330 about 220nm northeast of Toronto when the aircraft initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet due to the rapid loss of cabin pressure. The aircraft returned to Toronto for a safe landing about 2 hours after departure.

Following maintenance the aircraft departed again on Dec 7th but needed to return a second time, see Incident: PIA B772 near Toronto on Dec 7th 2014, cabin did not pressurize.

The loss of cabin pressure was the result of a malfunction of the pressure regulating shutoff valve. Following the second return the valve is now going to be replaced by PIA engineers flown to Toronto.
