Heavy monsoon rains in Islamabad and Karachi have caused major disruptions to flight operations, leading to delays and cancellations. Several flights from Guangzhou, Dubai, and Karachi were affected, with airlines such as Airblue, Fly Jinnah, and National Airlines facing the most impact.
Some flights were delayed for hours, while others had to be cancelled because of the unsafe weather conditions.
At Jinnah International Airport in Karachi and Islamabad International Airport, operations were temporarily suspended to protect passenger safety.
Airport officials explained that heavy rain and poor visibility made it risky for planes to land or take off. Flights that were already in the air were either rerouted to other cities or delayed until weather conditions became stable.
The disruption has caused inconvenience to hundreds of travelers, including those on domestic and international routes.
Many passengers reported long waiting times at airports, while others had their travel plans completely cancelled. Airlines have urged travelers to stay updated through their official websites, mobile apps, and helplines before leaving for the airport.
Officials stated that flight operations will resume gradually once the weather improves. Safety remains the top priority, and both airport management and airlines are closely monitoring the situation.
Until then, passengers are advised to remain patient and avoid unnecessary travel to airports unless they have confirmed information about their flights.
Heavy monsoon rains are expected to continue for the next few days, which means further delays could happen. Authorities recommend travelers make alternative arrangements in case of extended disruptions.
