The Lahore airport runway will be unavailable for three hours daily due to potential bird activity, the Pakistan Airports Authority announced on Wednesday.
According to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the authority, the runway will be closed from 5am to 8am each day until September 15. The measure is aimed at ensuring flight safety during peak bird movement hours.
The authority added that in case of emergencies, pilots will be allowed to use the runway at their discretion.

On the other hand, the runway at Jinnah International Airport would remain temporarily closed from 7am to 8am on Wednesday for scheduled maintenance.
According to the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA), the closure is necessary to remove rubber residue left by aircraft tires, which can affect runway friction and safety.
A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued to inform all airlines and relevant aviation stakeholders about the temporary suspension of operations during the cleanup.
