Islamabad International Airport will conduct a large-scale emergency preparedness drill on October 30, 2025, as part of its safety compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards. The exercise is designed to test how well airport departments and response teams handle critical situations.
The emergency drill will simulate an aircraft accident scenario to assess operational readiness, quick response, and coordination among multiple agencies. Participants will include fire and rescue units, medical teams, ambulance services, and airport security personnel.
Supervised by the Airport Manager, the drill aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Islamabad International Airport’s Emergency Response Plan. The exercise will help ensure that all departments can respond swiftly and efficiently to any real-life emergency, minimizing risk and ensuring passenger safety.
The Pakistan Airports Authority has urged passengers and the general public not to be alarmed if they notice smoke, ambulances, or emergency vehicles operating around the airport during the exercise. Officials confirmed that these activities are part of the planned training and pose no actual danger.
Authorities further clarified that normal airport operations will remain unaffected. All flights will continue as scheduled, and airport services will function without interruption throughout the drill.
This initiative underscores Islamabad International Airport’s commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards in line with global aviation practices. Regular drills like these are vital for improving coordination between airport staff, rescue teams, and law enforcement agencies.
By simulating a real-time emergency scenario, the airport aims to strengthen preparedness and ensure the safety and confidence of both passengers and employees in future situations.
