So, what so special on this event

On the CAA’s request, a C-130 aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) carrying passengers and luggage landed at the newly constructed runway of the airport on Friday to assess instrument landing pattern and the quality of the landing strip, said a statement issued by the PAF’s Media Affairs Directorate.

Earlier, several PAF aircraft, including light weight Super Mushshak trainer and Hercules Transport aircraft, had also landed at the runway, paving the way for a successful landing of the first PIA mock flight at the airport.


To de-conflict the air traffic, PAF in consultation with CAA air traffic controllers has readjusted its flying training areas and routes for smooth approach paths of New Islamabad International Airport.

Moreover, PAF has also established a state of the art Air Traffic Control Squadron, manned by qualified controllers to ensure the smooth air traffic flow round the clock at the new airport. Acting Director General Civil Aviation Authority, Air Vice Marshal Usaid-ur-Rehman Usmani has acknowledged the vigorous support of PAF in running the new airport and hoped that this mega project will usher in a new era of prosperity of country.
