Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority reported wheels were jammed while the aircraft was taxiing.

The Aviation Herald learned however, that there was no fault of the aircraft involved. After landing the crew was instructed to taxi to the very end of the runway rather than vacate via the last taxiway and to backtrack the runway. While attempting to turn around the uneven runway surface wasn't able to support the main wheels, the crew felt unusually high power settings were needed and stopped. An axle became unsettled and the wheels became stuck on the runway. The use of runway 36L for landing is unusual, but was made necessary due to the blockage of runway 36R.
