ISLAMABAD: Six international flights bound for Pakistan’s southern port city of Karachi were diverted to Muscat and Islamabad on Sunday as dense fog surrounded the metropolis, the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) said in a statement. Karachi was ranked as the fourth-most polluted city in the world by Swiss monitoring agency IQAir on Sunday morning. Karachi reported an air quality index of 215, deemed as “very unhealthy” by IQAir. “Due to fog, six international flights bound for Karachi have been diverted to other airports,” the PAA said.
