PESHAWAR: The thick fog that have enveloped most parts of the country including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have disrupted flight schedule at the Bacha Khan International Airport, Peshawar.
The cancellation of international flights due to the foggy weather has created problems for the general passengers, including those working in the Gulf countries as they have been stranded in the provincial capital over the last three days.
Talking to The News, a group of passengers complained that they should have been informed about the delays. One of the passengers, Nek Wali hailing from Miranshah in North Waziristan complained he came to the airport on Monday, but the flight was cancelled due to thick fog. “My visa is going to expire today (Wednesday) if I don’t catch the flight,” he said.
Another passenger, Mohammad Shah, said he was scheduled to leave for Dubai, but couldn’t do so due to cancellation of the flight. “The management of the company I work for will be angry at me. They don’t accept excuses and want us to arrival on time after availing the leave,” he said.
Sharing his difficulties, Akbar Ali belonging to Shangla said, “I spent three days in a hotel due to the cancellation of my flight. “I would have spent the three days at home if I knew of the problem,” he maintained.
Usman Ali, resident of Chitral district, said, “The relevant authorities were supposed to inform the passengers about the flight schedule.” Abdur Rehman, who wanted to take a flight to a Gulf country, believed the officials of the various franchises sitting in the airport were dodging the passengers.
