The main runway of the Allama Iqbal International airport, Lahore, was closed for a year on account of repair works on Saturday.
A secondary runway at the Lahore airport would be used as an alternate runway during the period, said a Notice to Airmen issued by the Civil Aviation Authority.
The runway was closed after the CAA approved a requisition from the airport authorities to repair the main runway. The repair work would be completed by November 21, 2021, the CAA said.
The airport manager said the airlines have been directed to minimize the number of passengers and fuel quantity while landing at the secondary runway of the airport.
