Amid the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, Pakistan’s aviation sector has experienced significant disruption, with 76 international flights cancelled today. The situation has affected major airports across the country, leaving many passengers facing delays, uncertainty, and last-minute travel changes.
A large number of outbound flights from Karachi were suspended, including routes to key regional destinations such as Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Riyadh. Similarly, several departures from Lahore were cancelled, impacting passengers traveling to Kuwait, Riyadh, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Dammam, and Dubai.
Islamabad also saw multiple flight cancellations, with routes to Al Ain, Fujairah, Bahrain, Sharjah, and Dubai among those affected. These disruptions reflect the broader regional instability and its impact on air travel corridors connecting Pakistan with the Gulf and surrounding areas.
In addition to international operations, domestic air travel has also been impacted. Flights between Islamabad and Gilgit, as well as routes from Karachi to Lahore, Quetta, Sukkur, and Multan, have faced cancellations, further compounding the difficulties for travelers within the country.
Passengers are strongly advised to remain in close contact with their respective airlines, monitor official updates, and allow extra time for travel arrangements as the situation continues to evolve.
