Karachi Airport’s General Aviation hangars are facing a growing problem with stray dogs, which are raising serious safety concerns for flight operations.
The area, home to training aircraft, has experienced multiple incidents where stray dogs came dangerously close to causing accidents, according to media reports.
In a recent incident, a stray dog nearly collided with a taxiing aircraft, prompting authorities to cancel the flight for safety reasons.
Additionally, stray dogs have been seen around Jinnah Terminal’s main runway, further complicating the safety issues of the aircrafts.
Apart from stray animals, debris such as metal objects around the hangars is creating more hazards.
Aircraft tires are often damaged by these obstructions, leading to tire bursts, flight delays, cancellations, and significant financial losses due to the need for tire replacements and repairs.
Airport officials have been urged to take action to address these safety concerns and protect passengers, crew, and aircraft operations.
