Late-night weather deterioration in Lahore caused significant disruptions to air traffic, resulting in the diversion of multiple flights to other cities.
Major Flights Affected in Lahore
According to aviation sources, PIA’s flight PK 248 from Dammam was unable to land at Allama Iqbal Airport due to poor weather conditions and was redirected to Islamabad. This diversion was a necessary measure to ensure passenger safety amidst the challenging weather.
Similarly, two flights operated by a private airline faced similar issues. Flight PA 406 from Karachi to Lahore and flight PA 431 from Abu Dhabi were both diverted to Multan. The adverse weather in Lahore made landing unsafe, prompting this precautionary action.
Additional Affected Flights in Lahore
A foreign airline’s flight from Kuala Lumpur experienced extended circling before it could finally land in Lahore. This delay highlights the significant impact the weather had on flight schedules and operations.
Moreover, several other flights scheduled to depart from Lahore were affected, causing further disruptions and delays for passengers.
The unexpected diversions and delays have caused inconvenience for many passengers. Airlines are working to accommodate affected passengers, providing updates and rebooking options where possible. The safety of passengers remains the top priority for all airlines involved.
