      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recent administrative difficulties at airlines have disrupted travel for passengers in Karachi, leading to the cancellation of four flights and delays for 18 others across the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="cancelled-flights" href="#cancelled-flights" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cancelled flights&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aviation authorities reported that two Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights from Karachi to Quetta have been cancelled. Additionally, two flights operated by a foreign airline from Sharjah to Quetta were also called off, creating inconvenience for travelers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="delayed-flights" href="#delayed-flights" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Delayed flights&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In terms of delays, officials noted that a private airline flight from Karachi to Lahore, as well as a PIA flight on the same route, have experienced significant setbacks. Flights from Karachi to Islamabad have also been affected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following are the delay times reported for various flights:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karachi to Sukkur: 1.5 hours
PIA flight from Multan to Jeddah: 1 hour and 45 minutes
Peshawar to Doha: 1 hour
Peshawar to Jeddah (private airline): 1 hour&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="international-flight-situation" href="#international-flight-situation" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;International flight situation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;International flights have not been spared from delays either. Flights from London to Islamabad faced a two-hour delay for both arrival and departure, while the Islamabad to Dushanbe flight was delayed by one hour.&lt;/p&gt;
