An unusual incident occurred at Islamabad International Airport when a monkey suddenly entered the airport terminal and wandered around the passenger lounge, surprising travellers and airport staff. The animal was spotted moving across the terminal roof and lounge ceiling, while several passengers recorded videos of the unexpected visitor on their mobile phones. The incident was reported on November 6, 2026.
Following the incident, airport authorities called wildlife officials to capture the monkey and remove it from the terminal. However, the animal continued moving between different sections of the building and managed to evade capture attempts. Videos of the incident circulated on social media, attracting public attention.
According to Dunya News, the monkey eventually left the airport on its own and returned to a nearby forest. No injuries or damage were reported in the incident.
