"Yousafzai's flight — Emirates' EK-614 — landed at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport at 1:41 AM (approximately 16 minutes after the scheduled time), travelling via Dubai. She was moved to a local hotel amid strict security after her arrival," Geo News reported giving details of her arrival in Pakistan.

She is reportedly going to meet Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Malala received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.
