What a joke of a mock up exercise with just 20 odd people

I remember i was doing my alevels in college when Heathrow terminal 5 opened and they invited pupils from all the local colleges to come on the test run. I ended up going with my college and they were like 5000 other college students there and it felt like a real airport day.

Pakistan’s biggest New Islamabad International Airport (NIIA), built on the designs of Mughal and Spanish architecture and equipped with latest technology, is set to be inaugurated on April 20.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has directed the departments currently operating at Benazir Bhutto International Airport to shift their offices to the new airport by March 31. Being the biggest airport of Pakistan containing latest facilities and technology, the NIIA can provide travel facilities to 28 airplanes at the same time.

The airport is designed as an aviation hub of the region while a five star hotel, a three star hotel and a sports complex will also be built inside the airport.

To facilitate and entertain the passengers, the airport also comprises three shopping malls, a golf course, cinema house, hospital, convention centre and duty-free shops and restaurants.

According to CAA Planning Director Nadir Shafi Dar, a self-check counter, long-time parking, eight fire crash tenders, latest air field, an MRO system to provide technical assistance to the airplanes and a separate cargo terminal of international standards have been built in the new Islamabad airport.

A cargo village has also been built on the airport while ground handling agencies have also started operating, the director added. The runway of the NIIA is more than 3.5 kilometres long making it the longest runway of Pakistan.

Any aeroplane of the world, including the A-380, can land at this airport. At least 4,000 personnel of the Airport Security Force along with contingents of Rangers will be deployed to provide security to the airport. Moreover, latest laser security system has also been installed for the purpose.
