Poor visibility caused by fog had affected flight operations at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport and several incoming flights were diverted to Islamabad airport.

Punjab’s capital city is used to experiencing fog in early winter but for some years smog and pollution have badly affected the region. Persistent smog and air pollution restrict the visibility range which also results in hygiene issues.
