Jinnah International Airport Security beefed up

After a last month’s terrorist attack near Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) is implementing stricter entry measures to improve safety. Last month, a large explosion near the airport killed three people, including two Chinese citizens, and injured at least 16 others.

In response, security forces arrested three suspects, including a woman, believed to be involved in the attack, according to Sindh Home Minister Zia Ul Hassan Lanjar.

The new rules require people coming to the airport to receive or see off passengers to bring a copy of the traveler’s ticket and their national ID card. Only four people can accompany each traveler, and without these documents, entry will be denied. The Pakistan Airports Authority said these changes are intended to enhance security and reduce risks for everyone at the airport.

The stricter rules will soon be enforced by airport security teams.
