Manual boarding passes issued for international flights at airports in Pakistan due to some technical issue with services provided by SITA - sita.aero. Foreign airlines use SITA system for issuing boarding passes to passengers, according to Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesperson.

Last week during a recent domestic flight (KHI-ISB) I had noticed that at the check in counters in Karachi and in Islamabad passengers were handed manual baggage tags for those who were checking in their luggage. The check in staff at Islamabad airport was struggling with the check in system on their computers and even cursing in low voice.
