KHI â SKZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Jinnah International Airport (Karachi) to Sukkur Airport (Sukkur)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides superior views of the Indus River's meandering path and the lush irrigation networks of the Sindh plains, culminating in a scenic approach over the historic bridges of Sukkur.
Indus River Basin
Continuous views of the mighty Indus River, the lifeline of Pakistan, as it winds through the province.
Sindh Wetlands
Glimpses of Haleji and Keenjhar lakes, which serve as vital migratory bird sanctuaries.
Agricultural Patchwork
The intricate 'checkerboard' of green fields fed by the world's largest contiguous irrigation system.
Mohenjo-Daro Vicinity
Flying near the ancient Indus Valley Civilization site, located just south of the final approach path.
Lansdowne Bridge
The iconic 19th-century railway bridge and the adjacent Ayub Bridge visible during the descent into Sukkur.
Date Palm Orchards
Vast green groves of date palms that characterize the landscape surrounding Sukkur city.
The right side is best during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Sukkur Barrage, a massive British-era engineering feat with 66 gates, which is visible just before landing. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the reflection off the river water.
Karachi Urban Sprawl
Aerial view of the densely populated Malir and Gulshan districts immediately after takeoff.
Kirthar Range
The rugged, arid mountain ridges forming the natural border between Sindh and Balochistan provinces.
Hub Dam Reservoir
A large blue reservoir contrasting sharply against the surrounding brown desert landscape.
Arid Hinterlands
Observation of traditional nomadic settlements and the transition to the semi-arid interior of Sindh.
Sit on the left side during sunset flights to witness the sun dipping behind the Kirthar Mountains. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the distant mountain ridges.
