The new Islamabad International Airport was built at a staggering and rather extravagant cost of over Rs 100 billion. Considered as the technological marvel and the most advanced airport in Pakistan by many, the new Airport gave up against its very first round of rains.
Islamabad witnessed pleasant weather after a heavy rain yesterday, however, the airport seemed to be at the losing end of it. Just as the rain caught pace, the airport’s floor started getting flooded with water.
Yeah, you heard that right. Rs 100 billion spent and the airport failed to withstand the impact of an average rainfall. The airport’s ceiling started to leak exposing the Civil Aviation Authority’s poor construction work.
The rainwater accumulated at the briefing area and other places as passengers faced difficulties in getting in and out. The staff at the airport kept drying the floors, however, the efforts were of no use and water kept coming in. The sewerage system at airport is also not fully functional.
“After the rainwater flooded the operational offices of airlines located at the ramp area of the airport, the wastewater was pumped out but the mud which came in with the water, chocked the pipelines and toilets rendering them unuseable. This has resulted in problems for the staff working at the airport,” a source told ProPakistani.
Many airlines confirmed that floodwater entered their offices and damaged precious equipment including computers, wireless and electronic gadgets.
Rainwater also flooded the runway and parking area of aircraft which was flushed out a few hours after the rain stopped.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is in a state of denial. The Public Relation Officer of CAA, Farah Hussain, denied that any water flooded the airport and claimed that all the videos are fake.
“There is no damage to the roof of the terminal building and no flooding occurred at airlines offices,” Farah Hussain told ProPakistani
he Airport’s Condition
You can watch the footages of the rain wreaking havoc inside the airport’s building:

Islamabad International Airport - Review
I traveled through Domestic & International Terminals three Times after Opening.
Sharing my views about NIIA.
Initially will shares some important points then detailed review of each Part.
1. Islamabad International Airport is Future Hub of Pakistan's Aviation , Its Huge & have enough space in surroundings.
2. Equipment Used in this Airport is Just Excellent ,completely inline of Latest international standards.
3. Low Quality Construction Material & Low Quality Finishing in Many Areas of Terminal. Specially Wash rooms & those Square Naked coloured Pillars.
4. Premature Opening of this Airport is also one one of reasons for some issues. Opening could be delayed for 4 to 6 months to have basic work done.Due to this work on some areas has been compromised.
5. Work on Restaurants/ Duty free area can be continued after opening & this is in Process.
6. CAA treating this Aiport is Like Yateem.... Huge Facility & less number of people in Administration/cleaning staff etc.
7. People / Passengers also dont have Civic Sense & you see Kachra on most of Places, Conditions of Lifts out side terminal in waiting area is just Pathetic.
8. Some jugar work has been done in Roof area which was exposed during rains. They managed this issue with other Jugar.
9.You never see Naked Pillar at any airport or you never sea kust Painted Pillars at any Airport even u dont see at Karachi,Lahore Faisalabad & Peshawar airport but IIA has & these Pillars are geting marks on them.
10. Biomatric Kiosks are working Perfectly.
11. CIP lounges in International Dep are Cool.
12. Business lounge in Domestic area is... bit compromised but cost you just 500 Pkr so...its Up!!
13. Both Link Roads are Operational which is Good but need to deploy Motorway Police on Both because in night its like Haunted Road & attractive point for Dakuz.
14. The Gate at start , where first checking point is made is too Narrow so often you see congestion on that point. Need Widening of that area like Toll Plaza & increase number of Security / checking Personals.
15. Metro Bus -Peshawar more till G14(GT Road) will start from August/September. Work on Bus stations in in Progress, Road is 90% Completed.
16. Metro Bus - GT road Till Airport will start from January 2019. Road is Ready They need to construct Bus stations Only.Work not started.
17. Air Field Side is Just Awesome, Runways are cool, View of surroundings is just classy mountains, green .......
18. If some Administrative issues & some Constructions issues solved & services improved This will be one of the best Airport but if it will remain like this..soon you will a disaster.

Next time you go through there, would it be possible to take some pictures of the construction and infrastructure defects you mentioned in this post?

Is that a culture problem or why are the people sitting on the ground? I think not enough sitting arrangments are given?
