Air and road traffic in Lahore have disrupted owing to poor visibility owing to dense fog


LAHORE: A foggy weather caused poor visibility and affected flight operations at Lahore airport on Sunday.
According to the reports, air and road traffic in Lahore have disrupted owing to poor visibility owing to dense fog, while the poor visibility also affected flight operations at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.
The Airport Manager said that several incoming flights were diverted to Islamabad airport. “International flight QR 628, coming from Doha to Lahore, was also diverted to Islamabad,” he added.
“Flight operations will be brought to normal routine after improvement in the visibility level. There is a forecast for rain in the area, if rain begins the fog will dissipate,” the official said.
Punjab’s capital city is used to experience fog in early winter but experiencing smog and pollution which has badly affected the region. Persistent smog and air pollution restrict visibility range which also result in hygiene issues.
