Lahore airport to remain closed during these hours

F.P. Report

LAHORE: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has announced that Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore will remain closed for three hours daily due to the monsoon season.

According to a notice issued by the CAA, both runways of the airport will be closed from 5:00 am to 8:00 am daily, starting from July 10 to September 10.
