UK team in Pakistan to review airports’ security facilities

A team of the British Security Agency Department for Transport (DfT) has arrived in Pakistan to conduct security audit of the country’s three major airports.

The team will inspect the security of international airports in Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi.

The delegation conducted an audit of various departments, including airport security forces, flight kitchens, and ground handling.  

The purpose of the delegation’s visit is to examine the security of direct flights from Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi to the UK.

The delegation will also monitor the processes of screening of passengers’ luggage, the transfer of belongings on the aircraft, and other security equipment.

The British delegation was scheduled to visit Pakistan on July 10, but after a change in the date, the delegation landed in Pakistan on May 31.
