In preparation for a major protest organized by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on November 24, the government has implemented strict security measures across Islamabad. Key entry and exit points have been sealed, and large containers have been placed on several major roads, raising concerns among residents and travelers.
These restrictions are intended to manage the expected influx of protesters in the capital. However, travelers, particularly those with flights scheduled from Islamabad International Airport, have expressed worries about potential disruptions to their travel plans.

The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has reassured passengers that flight operations at all airports, including Islamabad International, are running smoothly. A PAA spokesperson confirmed to Propakistani that “Flights are continuing as per schedule,” aiming to ease concerns during this heightened period.
Despite the assurance for air travel, road closures may still cause delays for passengers heading to the airport. Travelers are urged to plan ahead, allocate extra time for their journey, and stay updated on the latest traffic advisories to avoid any inconvenience.
The PTI’s protest comes amid ongoing political unrest, and authorities are closely monitoring the situation in Islamabad. Security personnel have been deployed throughout the city to ensure order, with further updates expected as the situation unfolds.
