Two flights were diverted from the Peshawar Airport to Benazir International Airport in Islamabad and Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore following Tuesday's terror strike on a plane that was landing.

A Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman said earlier in the morning, a Shaheen Airlines flight had landed at the Bacha Khan International Airport, resuming flight operations after the attack last night, the Dawn reports.

CAA confirmed that an Etihad Airways flight from Abu Dhabi would be landing in Islamabad while a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight No PK895 coming from Kuala Lumpur would be landing at Lahore airport.

The flights were diverted due to security reasons and routine operations would continue after clearance.

Security measures have been enhanced around the airport, whereas additional security was also deployed to avert any untoward incident.
