US Air Force C-17 Globemaster Planes Land in Islamabad Before High-Level US Delegation Visit

US military aircraft have begun arriving in Islamabad. Flight-tracking data shows three C-17 Globemaster III planes landed at Nur Khan Airbase on April 19, carrying equipment for a senior US officials visit to Pakistan. This logistical push supports the second round of US-Iran talks starting today.

Three US military aircraft touched down at Nur Khan Airbase yesterday. The first C-17 Globemaster III arrived at 8:30 AM. The second landed at 11:03 AM. The third came at 2:40 PM. Another aircraft heads this way.

More US planes refueled at Ramstein Air Base and Morón Air Base. They form part of a large-scale operation. The cargo included security systems, communication equipment, and support gear used before high-level visits.

Reports confirm an advance US delegation reached Islamabad earlier. Sources say advance teams from foreign delegations arrive ahead of important negotiations. Officials have not yet confirmed the full schedule.

Pakistan tightened security in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Authorities closed the Red Zone to traffic. They protect the area during the foreign delegations visit.

Offices and schools in the Red Zone moved online. Public transport faces limits. These measures back the US officials visit to Pakistan for the US-Iran talks. President Trump announced the US delegation—led by Vice President JD Vance with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner—arrives today.
