Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has directed all foreign airlines operating in and out of Pakistan to carry additional jet fuel on their flights due to the ongoing US-Iran war situation.
Officials said the measure was introduced after fuel reserves at major airports, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, fell sharply.
Airlines are now required to load return fuel to ensure aircraft can complete their journeys safely.
Airline sources said that on Wednesday, a foreign airline flight from Karachi to Doha had to land in Muscat to refuel.
Airline officials confirmed that foreign carriers arriving from Pakistan have had to offload cargo and passenger baggage to comply with the additional fuel requirement.
