New Islamabad Airport Progress

[Frank Martin]

Yep guess its the biggest, but the best airport is normally defined by how many passengers comes through the airport, Indira Gandhi at 14million between Jan-May 2011. You guys have to beat that to claim it as the best.
It has to beat 14million passengers

Mate, no need to bring India here..pls..

With an initial passenger capacity of 6.5m, the airport will feature two runways, one Category F capable of accommodating A380s and the other Category E which will handle widebody aircraft, and has room for a third, which could open in 10-15 years. The y-shaped passenger terminal, spanning 185,000sqm, will contain 90 check-in counters, 66 for international and 24 for domestic. On site will be nine airline lounges and a 40-room hotel. It will be one of those airports where there will be no inter- mixing of passengers between international or domestic, departures or arrivals, which is necessary for security reasons.

today i am thinking i will go back to Pakistan when its completed and i will land there otherwise i stay here lolz lets see what happen .

You are right brother. This airport along with Centaurus, World Trade Center Islamabad along with current landmarks like Shah Faisal Masjid, The Monument, and Damn-e-Koh willl make Islamabad like no other city in the world.

U.S. is building its largest embassy ever in this beautiful capital for a reason.

Pakistanis should always protect and treasure this beautiful capital, and we Pakistanis living outside Pakistan will buy more properties and invest more in this beautiful capital after we make more money.

Why 66 international check in counter, we only have 40 Int'l flights per day!. Well, maybe keeping future plans in sight, good job.

Well, emirates is going everyday to Islamabad, and that too a A330 or B777, huge aircraft. And my father got a job in Emirates so, 90% off tickets, meaning alot of travel through this airport.

 

[SHAMK9]

Islamabad will be seeing lots of 777's in future, the best aircraft ever made, lets hope other airlines dont do that, it will murder PIA, we cant lose PIA, i dont care if its bad or people dont like, its my country s airline and i love it.
