To celebrate the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has arranged an exciting flypast by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets on February 19. As a result, Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport will be temporarily closed.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to inform both national and international airlines about the closure. During the event, a designated air corridor will be closed, meaning no flights will be allowed to take off or land between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM.

Passengers traveling to or from Karachi and Lahore are advised to check with their airlines for updated schedules.
