KARACHI: Allama Iqbal International Airport (AIIAP) will experience temporary flight disruptions as the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has announced the suspension of flight operations during specific hours.

Beginning from July 15, 2023, flight operations at AIIAP will be halted from 5:00 am to 8:00 am for a month.

The PCAA spokesperson revealed that the decision was made in response to an increased presence of birds around the airport due to the monsoon season.

The authorities are concerned about the potential risks posed by birds to the safety of aircraft during takeoff and landing.

In light of this, a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued, indicating that the runways at AIIAP will be unavailable during the designated time period from July 15 to September 15, 2023. This temporary measure will affect both runways, 36R/18L and 36L/18R.

Firstly the news headline, gives a wrong impression. Restricted hours of operations at Lahore Airport should be good enough. Having worked in Aviation Industry it is known fact that this bird movement phenomenon is nothing new and has existed for decades. It is duty of Environmental agencies to take steps to eradicate this problem/ reduce its effect to manageable level. The bird movement is caused by location of trash dumps and feeding grounds. PCAA Safety Deptt should join in to resolve this issue and not just warm their seats and perks. PCAA will say we have posted a Bird Shooter, things have gone much further than the Bird Shooters.
