The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) confirmed on Saturday that all airports across the country are secure from cyberattacks and that flight operations are continuing as normal.

According to the PAA, all software and electronic systems, including immigration and airline operations, are fully functional, with no reports of technical glitches or security threats.

The clarification came a day after major airports in Europe and the UK were hit by a large-scale cyberattack that crippled check-in and other electronic systems at London Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin, leading to hours-long delays and flight cancellations.
