Flight operations in Pakistan are still facing serious delays and cancellations, even though a recent ceasefire had raised hopes for improvement. Many passengers across the country are still uncertain about their travel plans, as flight schedules remain unstable.
According to aviation sources, over 150 flights have been canceled so far. These include 45 flights from Karachi, 38 from Lahore, 40 from Islamabad, 10 from Multan, and 11 from Peshawar. The situation is constantly changing as airlines and airport authorities try to bring things back to normal.
Passengers are experiencing long waits and confusion at airports, with many unsure whether their flights will go ahead or be canceled at the last minute. The disruption has caused a lot of stress for travelers, especially those with urgent or international plans.
Despite the ongoing chaos, there was a positive development today. The first flights carrying pilgrims to Medina have taken off. More than 700 pilgrims are expected to travel today. A private airline is scheduled to fly from Lahore around 2:00 PM. In addition, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights 7249 and 7251 are scheduled to depart at 2:30 PM and 4:00 AM respectively.
Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation and have assured the public that they are working to restore normal flight services as soon as possible. However, until operations are fully stable, passengers are advised to stay in contact with airlines and check for updates regularly.
