On Friday, Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport faced disruptions in its flight schedule, with several domestic and international flights being canceled, according to 24NewsHD TV channel.
Affected flights included AirBlue’s PA-173 and 171 bound for Jeddah, AirSial’s PF-144 heading to Lahore, FlyBaghdad’s IF-333 destined for Najaf, and SereneAir’s ER-551 to Peshawar, ER-503 to Islamabad, and ER-523 to Lahore.
The Judicial Commission recommended the appointments of Chief Justice Malik Shahzad Ahmed of Lahore High Court, Chief Justice Aqeel Abbasi of Sindh High Court, and Justice Shahid Bilal of Lahore High Court to the Supreme Court.
These cancellations inconvenienced passengers and required adjustments to their travel plans. It is noteworthy that in recent weeks, dozens of international and domestic flights have been canceled at Karachi airport.
In separate news, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced plans to upgrade the airport’s main runway. The runway extension project, set to commence post-Eid, aims to lengthen the runway by 1,000 feet, bringing it to a total of 11,500 feet. This extension will accommodate widebody aircraft up to category 4.
