Pakistan International Airlines flight disruptions ongoing across Pakistan as of Oct. 24. Confirm bookings.
Event
Flag carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PK) is experiencing flight disruptions nationwide as of Oct. 24. The airline canceled at least 77 domestic and international flights in several cities, including Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore on Oct. 22. Related disruptions have occurred since Oct. 17 after Pakistan State Oil (PSO) suspended fuel supply to the airline over the alleged non-payment of dues. It is unclear when normal operations will resume.
Further flight disruptions are likely until the airline resolves the issue. Lingering delays are possible even after regular flight schedules resume as the carrier works to clear the backlog.
Advice
Monitor the local media for updates. Contact the airline or relevant airport to reconfirm flights. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Consider making alternative arrangements for time-sensitive travel if necessary.
