At Peshawar Airport, 3 flights to Doha and Sharjah have been canceled, although 10 flights are expected. Additionally, 2 flights from Quetta to Dubai have been canceled, yet 2 flights to Sharjah remain operational.
Other than the Middle East war, weather too has contributed to disruptions, with heavy fog reported in Peshawar and heavy rain affecting flights in Lahore. As a result, 2 foreign flights from Peshawar were grounded at Islamabad Airport.
Notably, a foreign flight from Sharjah to Peshawar landed in Islamabad, and a Qaumi Airline flight from Al Ain to Peshawar has also arrived at Islamabad. Furthermore, flights from Lahore to Dammam, Dubai, Kuwait, and Riyadh have been delayed, further complicating travel plans for passengers.
