Pakistan: Power outage prompting flight disruptions at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi as of Dec. 14
Power outage disrupting flights at Jinnah International Airport Karachi, Pakistan, as of Dec 14. Reconfirm flights.
Jinnah International Airport (KHI) in Karachi is experiencing flight delays and cancellations as of late Dec. 14 due to a power outage. The outage reportedly originated with a technical fault at Karachi Electric and is impacting lighting, air conditioning, check-in counters, luggage conveyors, and immigration counters at the airport. Airlines are working to continue passenger check-ins manually. Authorities are working to restore power at the airport, although it is unclear when normal operations will resume.
Disruptions are likely to continue until at least the early morning of Dec. 15, even after the power is restored, as airlines work to clear passenger backlogs.
Reconfirm all flights. Consider alternative transportation options. If necessary, book alternative flights as soon as possible. Do not check out of accommodations until onward travel is confirmed. Allow extra time for transit through KHI.
