In a significant Karachi airport update, the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has confirmed the immediate restoration of flight operations at Jinnah International Airport. The announcement came on May 8, 2025, following temporary suspensions earlier this week due to escalating regional tensions.
All Major Airports Operational
According to the PAA, all major airports across the country—including Lahore, Islamabad, and Sialkot—remain fully operational. The authority stressed that normal flight schedules are in place unless otherwise notified. This move comes as a relief for passengers and airlines following a period of disruptions caused by airspace restrictions.
Passengers Urged to Stay Informed
The PAA has urged all travelers to stay in close contact with their respective airlines to obtain the most up-to-date information on their flight status. Given the fluid nature of the situation, schedules may still change with short notice. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines before heading to the airport to avoid inconvenience.

Context of Previous Disruptions
Earlier this week, multiple airports, including Karachi, experienced temporary flight suspensions amid rising security threats stemming from the ongoing Pakistan-India conflict. These measures were taken as precautionary steps after reported airspace violations and military escalations.
However, with security protocols reassessed and no immediate threats reported, the PAA has now allowed a return to regular operations. The swift resumption reflects coordination between civil aviation authorities and national defense institutions to ensure safety and stability in the skies.
Cautious Optimism Ahead
While the situation is gradually stabilizing, the PAA remains on alert. Authorities continue to monitor airspace activity and geopolitical developments closely. Any potential threat will be dealt with swiftly to maintain passenger safety and operational continuity.
