Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has advised its passengers from Karachi to leave early for the airport as the sit-ins and protests across the city may increase their travel time.
As per PIA’s rules, passengers must reach the airport at least four hours before departure time for international flights, and two hours in advance for domestic flights due to intensive security arrangements at the airports.
