Due to recent security incidents, including an attack on a convoy of Chinese engineers and a shooting on Shara-e-Faisal, Karachi Airport and its surrounding areas have been designated a red zone. This means access is now limited to airport personnel, passengers, and authorized individuals only. Police have established checkpoints at key locations such as Stargate, CAA Club, Madam Bridge, and Model Colony Junction, where thorough inspections are being conducted to prevent suspicious activities.
SSP Malir, Kashif Aftab Abbasi, has urged travelers to arrive at the airport early for security checks. Passengers are also advised to carry both their ticket and ID for verification. To avoid delays, travelers should refrain from passing through the red zone and consider using alternative routes. The authorities are working diligently to ensure public safety and minimize disruptions during this heightened security period.
