Pakistan: Workers to stage airport protests in multiple
cities on September 4
Unionized workers of the Civil Aviation
Authority have called for day-long protests outside civilian airports across
Pakistan on September 4.
The demonstrators are protesting against the
proposed privatization of certain airport operations and alleged mismanagement
by the current director-general.
Similar rallies in the past have seen
significant participation, particularly at Islamabad International Airport
(ISB), Karachi's Jinnah International Airport (KHI), and Lahore's Allama Iqbal
International Airport (LHE). While flight disruptions are highly unlikely, the
protests may lead to localized road traffic disruptions and airport screening
delays.
Authorities are likely to monitor any
demonstrations closely and may take action to disperse overly disruptive
crowds.
