I AM a resident of Sukkur, which has a small airport with two or three flights daily. However, I have observed from the terrace of my house that every two minutes there is a flight crossing the Sukkur skies. How come? This is more than the entire air traffic at Karachi international airport.

Does Sukkur lie on the national air route? I feel that all flights from Karachi to Peshawar cross the skies above Sukkur. This causes noise pollution. I ask the authorities to change the air path so that all flights do not use Sukkur air space. Or is there some security breach?
