Several flights were canceled at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport on Monday due to technical and operational issues, as reported by a private news channel.
Serene Air had to cancel two flights: ER-504 from Karachi to Islamabad and ER-524 from Karachi to Lahore. Additionally, their flight ER-522 from Karachi to Lahore was also affected.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) had several cancellations as well. These included flights PK-306 to Lahore, PK-241 to Dammam, and PK-310 to Quetta. Fly Jinnah’s flight 9P852 to Quetta was also canceled.
In unrelated incidents, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Immigration Circle apprehended four passengers at Jinnah International Airport for possessing counterfeit visas in two separate operations.
According to an FIA spokesperson, three of the detained individuals were found with forged visas for Guinea, while the fourth arrived from Iraq with a fake visa. The arrested persons—Muhammad Javed, Muhammad Asghar, and Abdul Jabbar—allegedly paid significant sums to an agent for these counterfeit documents. Meanwhile, Daniyal from Dera Ismail Khan obtained his Iraqi visa for Rs. 250,000 through an agent, bypassing the official embassy channels.
