Dozens of flights between Pakistan and Middle Eastern destinations have been cancelled or delayed due to ongoing regional tensions linked to the US-Israel-Iran conflict. Aviation authorities reported 11 flights departing from major cities including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar were cancelled on Saturday alone. The cancellations have caused significant disruption for passengers with many still trying to make travel plans. Flights between Pakistan and Middle Eastern countries are severely affected.

Karachi was the city most impacted with 16 outbound flights to Middle Eastern countries cancelled and another 15 facing delays. Lahore saw eight flights heading to destinations such as Kuwait City, Doha, and Dubai were cancelled, while seven others did not operate on time. The disruptions have caused a major setback for people travelling through the cities.

In Islamabad, 15 flights were cancelled and around 20 delayed due to the regional tensions. Peshawar reported 10 cancellations on routes to cities like Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Multan also saw two flights from the city called off. The situation is leaving many passengers in uncertainty.

Airspace closures in parts of the Middle East following the escalation of conflict involving Iran have been largely responsible for the cancellations. Since the situation intensified, more than 2,600 flights between Pakistan and the region have reportedly been cancelled. This has had a major impact on travel plans and flight schedules.

Authorities are closely monitoring developments in the region but ongoing uncertainty continues to affect flight schedules and travel plans. The government is urging passengers to remain calm and patient as they deal with the disruptions caused by the regional conflict.
