KARACHI, Sindh: An Airblue PA200 delay stretched to nearly seven hours on Sunday as the Karachi-Islamabad flight departed Jinnah International Airport at 7:04 pm instead of its scheduled 12:15 pm departure.
Airblue’s published schedule lists PA200 from Karachi to Islamabad with a 12:15 pm departure and 2:20 pm arrival, confirming the flight’s original timetable.
Flight-tracking information data showed PA200 leaving Karachi six hours and 49 minutes late. VariFlight listed an estimated arrival in Islamabad of 8:37 pm, about six hours and 17 minutes behind the original schedule.

The same tracking data showed the preceding Airblue PA201 service from Islamabad to Karachi running about six hours and 35 minutes late. However, the available information does not establish that PA201 caused PA200’s delay.
Independent public flight-history services confirmed PA200’s regular Karachi-Islamabad schedule but had not published a final September 13 landing time when checked.
Passengers were advised to confirm current departure, arrival and gate information directly with Airblue or airport displays because flight-status information can change.
