    Opening of New Islamabad International Airport .. NIIA

    Watch the videos I posted. Plenty of greenery can be seen when landing and taking off. Old ISB had all those restaurants I mentioned since mid-early 2015, which explains why you didn't see them. When I was travelling in July 2015, Mr. Cod and Dunkin Donuts were there, but Pizza Hut was short...

    Opening of New Islamabad International Airport .. NIIA

    The old one had Dunkin Donuts, Mr. Cod and Pizza Hut, and I believe one more as well, but can't remember the name. This one has Coffee Planet, and Bread & Co, along with the overpriced shop I mentioned called Relay, there's nothing else.

    Opening of New Islamabad International Airport .. NIIA

    1. There aren't enough chairs. On a crowded day, you'll find a lot of people will be standing, or just roaming around because there's no place to sit. There's plenty of space, it's a huge terminal, just not enough seats. 2. Mediocre at best. Slow service and the variety of restaurants is...

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    That rule has been implemented at current airport, only 2 people maximum are allowed to receive someone. At least that's what ASF guy told me at the gate.

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    Water and power issues have been addressed. Testing of flight ops such as the one being done in the picture, and the completion of the link road are causing delays.

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    It'll open in December after the link road is complete and testing for flight ops has been done. There will be no disasters. Having two runways close to each other simply means they can't be used simultaneously like they were initially planning to have them, both will be open but only one can be...

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    Lots of things SHOULD happen, but don't because of the political situation in the country, but I wouldn't want to derail this thread so let's leave it at that. Current airport (OPRN) already has military presence and they will take over fully once commercial flights are moved to OPIS.

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    Thank you for your reply. All airlines have not agreed or just ME3? I was under the same impression that the airport would open on the 14th but international carriers wouldn't start service the same day due to there not being enough time. I've got a source in EK and they don't have an actual...

    New Islamabad Airport Progress

    New member here, have been viewing this thread as a non-member though for the past few weeks. Saw a tender in the newspaper in the end of May for 4 branded outlets, and then another one for potable water. If the airport doesn't even have these things covered yet, what're the chances it'll...
