Eighteen flights from Lahore to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Dammam and Muscat, among other Gulf destinations, have been cancelled in the last 24 hours.

Flights from Lahore to Dammam and Riyadh were also cancelled.

Since the start of the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, more than 1,400 flights have been cancelled from Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport and other airports across the country.

Due to the uncertain situation, scheduling international flights at any airport has become impossible.

Tensions have also reduced passenger numbers travelling to Gulf countries, while travellers are facing difficulties returning from those destinations.

Passenger traffic from Lahore to Europe and Canada has also declined.
