Flight schedule has been facing delays due to the appearance of a pothole on the runway of Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport, temporarily suspending the flight operations. The pothole appeared due to heavy rainfall in the city. The Jeddah-bound flight from Lahore was delayed due to the issue, causing problems for passengers. Reportedly, 10 national and international flights faced delay due to the issue.
