An Air Blue flight faced significant delays at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport due to the absence of pilots and crew members, who were unable to reach the airport on time.

The Karachi-bound flight PA-401 was scheduled to take off at 10:00 am but was delayed due to the heavy rain affecting the city.

Passengers waiting in the airport lounge expressed their displeasure over the delay, criticizing the Air Blue staff for not planning better.

Many passengers pointed out that if they could make it to the airport despite the weather conditions, the airline staff should have managed to do the same.

The incident has raised concerns over the airline’s preparedness and contingency planning in adverse weather conditions.
