      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330428442/independence-day-rehearsals-islamabad-airport-to-halt-flights</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flight operations at Islamabad International Airport will be temporarily suspended on select days due to Independence Day parade rehearsals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the Pakistan Airport Authority, Islamabad Airport will experience temporary flight suspension on select days.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the authority, arrivals and departures will be suspended on August 11, 12, and 13 from 8pm to 10pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Airlines have been directed not to schedule any flights during these hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NOTAM also covers additional suspension days earlier in the month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flight operations will be halted on August 11 to 14 for varying durations to accommodate parade practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In these eight days, a special daytime suspension will take place between 11am and 1pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Passengers have been advised to check schedules. Authorities have advised travellers to confirm their flight timings in advance to avoid inconvenience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Airlines are expected to adjust schedules and notify passengers of any changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The temporary suspensions are part of the security and logistical preparations for Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day celebrations, which will be held with full ceremonial display in the federal capital.&lt;/p&gt;
