Smog causes severe delays at Lahore airport

    Smog levels have caused severe disruptions at Lahore’s international airport for the fourth day running.

    Over 70 flights were delayed today, 10 November, leaving thousands of passengers stranded, causing some to lead protests against airport administration over a lack of communication.

    Large swathes of the Punjab region have been inundated with thick smog since late October and travel disruption is likely to continue for the coming days until visibility increases.
