According to Dunya News channel, there are more than thirty derelict aircraft at Karachi Airport. Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has written letters to owners/operators of these aircraft for their removal from the airport. These aircraft belong to PIA, privately owned airlines and foreign operators.

The aircraft are security risk and can be used as hiding place by terrorists. The aircraft also occupy precious parking space. These aircraft also have become home to a number of birds that are threat to flight safety.

Boeing 737-200s of Shaheen Air. Sometime ago there were reports that Pakistan Customs has blocked sale/scrapping of these aircraft by Shaheen Air due to non-payment of some aircraft import taxes/duties by Shaheen Air.
