Skardu Airport witnessed a major mishap as an Air Blue flight departed one hour early, leaving a family of five stranded despite arriving on time. Due to this, they were forced to buy expensive “chance tickets” from PIA, paying double the usual fare. Airline staff failed to notify passengers effectively, and poor customer service worsened the situation. This incident highlights severe mismanagement at the airport, causing distress and financial loss to travelers. Authorities are urged to enforce stricter operational protocols to prevent such issues in the future.
