Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport has introduced new security rules for visitors coming to drop off or pick up travelers. In light of recent security concerns, specifically following an attack on Chinese nationals linked to insider assistance, officials have tightened access to the airport. Now, any visitor entering the premises will need to carry a copy of the airline ticket.
Under the new measures, each passenger can bring up to four people with them, but every visitor must carry a copy of the ticket linked to the passenger. For those coming to pick up someone, it’s important to have your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) ready for verification.
These updated guidelines aim to boost security and manage entry points, reducing unnecessary foot traffic in sensitive areas. Airport security staff are likely to request these documents, so be prepared if you’re planning a visit. If a visitor doesn’t have a copy of the ticket, they’ll be denied entry.
According to airport officials, these new protocols are expected to take effect soon, but exact dates haven’t been confirmed. So, if you’re planning to accompany someone at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, make sure you’re ready to comply with these rules for a smoother experience.
