For this purpose, authorities at the Islamabad International Airport have worked out a schedule for the arrival of smog-diverted flights and their safe landing. The officials further said that the diverted flights are apart from the scheduled flights, adding that four flights have already departed from Islamabad airport under the diverted flights' operation with 607 passengers and 29-member crew on board. Similarly, three diverted flights carrying 650 passengers also landed at the Islamabad airport. In view of the circumstances, the civil aviation authority has formed a task force to handle the complaints of passengers of delayed, cancelled or diverted flights. He added the task force will also communicate with the traffic police to ensure that there was no rush in the airport’s parking.
