Okay I take back everything negative I said about this airport. Looks fantastic. I really look forward to using this airport later this year. The old airport at Chaklala was disgusting. Although it will always be special place. That is the point where my father left Pakistan long time ago for a new life in UK not knowing that he was changing the future of his succeeding generations. I am sure this is also applicable to 100,000s of other Pakistani origin diaspora spread across the globe.

Shukriya Pakistan.

Not to diss it, but i remember on PDF in 2008 when new Hyderabad and Bangalore airports opened, people used to take Islamabad airport (then conceived) as parallel example. Now in the last ten years, Hyderabad and Bangalore have crossed their intented traffic and are in expansion mode but we are yet to see the opening of the Islamabad airport. Speaks about efficiences in both the countries.

With those timelines... I guess Isloo airport is a lost cause.
