Islamabad, March 13, 2026 – Authorities at Islamabad International Airport have dismissed circulating reports claiming that the airspace over the federal capital has been closed, describing the claims as completely false and misleading.
Airport officials confirmed that flight operations are continuing normally and that all scheduled arrivals and departures are being handled without interruption.
According to an airport spokesperson, there has been no suspension or restriction on air traffic in or around Islamabad. The official stressed that the airport remains fully operational and functioning according to routine schedules.
“All flights are operating smoothly and according to schedule. Reports suggesting the closure of Islamabad’s airspace are baseless and should be ignored,” the spokesperson said.
The clarification came after misleading posts on social media triggered confusion among passengers and raised concerns about possible disruptions in flight operations. Airport authorities urged travelers to rely only on verified information issued by official aviation sources and airlines.
Passengers planning to travel from or to Islamabad have been advised to contact their respective airlines directly for the latest flight updates rather than relying on unverified online reports.
Officials further emphasized that airport security, airspace management, and flight schedules remain stable, and routine aviation services are continuing without any disturbance.
Authorities reassured the public that the situation at the airport is completely normal, and travelers can proceed with their plans without concern.
