That's international airport !
At least it should be mosquito free and Rawal lounge should have fresh coffee and better cookies.

bro, u were talking about chaklala airbase not isl airport, dnt u knw the difference???

 

[flameboard]

Rawalpindi international airport is situated at chaklala.

Rawalpindi international airport is situated at chaklala.

@BATMAN @Windjammer This thread got me thinking about ISB airport and Chaklala Air base, so I looked it up on Google Maps. Guess what I found

 

[I M Sikander]

if karachi is a part of pakistan, why is it being discriminated based on who karachi votes for, does karachi pay its revenues and taxes to MQM or is it federal government?

karachi deserves better treatment than lahore and islamabad, but it seems like pakistani state has least priorities for karachi, even multan, gujranwala, larkana has greater priority for the government of pakistan

karachi should be made an autonomous region of the country since federal govt doesnt like to develop the city based on its own tax money

not one mega project has been carried out in the city since 10 years

Stop selling this choran of discrimination .
Karachi hasnt voted for any party based on their pwrformnace in last 4 decades .
Ethnicity is the only basis for vote for Karachites .

Lahore metro bus was built by Punjab gov. Whereas karachi green line bus is being constructed by federal gov.

Lahore ring road was constructed by punjab gov. Whereas federal gov built lyari expressway and northern bypass in Karachi.

25 billion special package given to karachi by Federal gov last month , no such special package for lahore.

K4 water supply project financied half by federal gov in karachi . No such funding of lahore water supply project by Federal gov.

9.92 billion dollar nuclear power plants, kanupp 2 & 3 under construction at karachi by federal gov. No such project in Lahore.

I just realized you are basically changing the entire shape of the Air Port the red building which we see would be gone when this would be completed

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

In all honesty the existing Lahore airport looks fantastic

The money is better spend on Desalination Water Project For Sindh/Baluchistan
or Metro Train in Karachi

Making an Airport one more time when existing Airport looks great is strange choice
It is a very unique Pakistani Airport building style just need some trees and lights on outside

Going from 7 Craft parking to 31 Craft is quite ambitious but I think adding Metro Train in Karachi will generate tones of money for Pakistan

Spending Billions for Aircraft Terminal Parking makes no sense as it will take some time before Lahore Airport will get more traffic then it can handle

This airport already has a very unique Lahore style red brick design





Example:
In Detroit which is a Debt ridden State in USA , it has the world's most largest and one of the beautiful airports you might go thru

But it does not changes the general state of Province or Money the country makes from it

Color changing walk ways

Just because you make a super giant Airport does not means it will make tones of money




From Pakistan's Perspective , stalled cars on road in Traffic Jam cause large amount of
Financial loses as Petrol is burned while cars are stuck in traffic

It is simple math , cars stuck on road = more fuel is burned , more fuel is burned
then more fuel is imported from Middle east and economy loses money


Just matter of Priority


From Pakistan's Perspective a better investment would be Desalination Plant or Metro for Karachi

• If something has to be done in Punjab , then Waster Management Factory should be setup for sewage water cleaning (Recycling Sewage for water for Plants / Barron lands)

a) Sewage Recycling : Making Fertilizers and Chemically Clean water (Surplus Water)
b) Trash burning plants : Generate Electricity (Surplus) ​

Just making a superficial airport extension will not solve existing problems of lack of water, lack of electricity or Traffic problems in some cities of Pakistan such as Karachi



These plants , process 90-95% clean water back into Lakes

Chemically clean water, which can be used to irrigate street plants / and turn barren deserts into farming zones

New airport terminal, Lahore, Pakistan
Tuesday 06 Jun 2017

Lift off in Lahore


GilBartolomé Architects

Gilbartolomé architects have designed the new Lahore airport in Pakistan

The Spanish office GilBartolomé Architects have designed a new airport terminal in Lahore, Pakistan which will serve 25m passengers every year. It has become one of the most ambitious and forward thinking projects undertaken in the country for many years.

Pablo Gil and Jaime Bartolomé, directors of GilBartolomé Arcjotects and their team, have projected the new passenger terminal in collaboration with engineering office Typsa and Pakistani Asian Consulting.

GilBartolomé Architect’s proposal was selected among other powerful European and American consortia in a competitive process, carried in October 2015. The construction works will start by the end of 2017.

This new and emblematic terminal seeks to transform the Lahore airport into a global aerial communication node, guaranteeing the economic growth of Pakistan and projecting a picture of modernity to the world.

One of the greatest challenges involved in the design was the need to incorporate the existing terminal, with a current capacity of 4.5m passengers per year, integrating it both aesthetically and functionally in the final scheme, and keeping it operative throughout the process of the construction works.

In order to achieve this, the existing terminal was planned to remain nearly untouched, building the new extension around it, with a gardened patio which lets natural light inside the building and it is pierced by walkways that connect the old and the new buildings. The result showcases the existing building -built in 2003- and at the same time proposes a coherent whole, and a flexible and functional interior scheme.

The building responds to Lahore’s flat topography and takes inspiration in the earthy colours of the ceramic architecture of the Punjab, which is also the existing building’s and the adjacent mosque. The new building responds to the latter with a direct connection and an exclusive park for the travellers.

It is customary in Pakistan for the family and friends accompanying the traveller to remain in the building until the aircraft takes off, or up to the moment the passenger arrives from a trip, thus turning the airport lobby into a public space which should host great crowds for extended periods of time. This particularity constitutes an opportunity to propose a beautiful and vibrant space for travellers and relatives. Setting functional and security-related issues aside, this has been the primary design goal.

The space itself is 18m high, separated in two open levels, and ordered by the structure of pillars holding the roof of the building. The check-in hall, so as the cafeterias, restaurants and indoor gardens -below-, allow for the enjoyment of a space that connects the architectural tradition of the large Hypostyle halls with GilBartolome’s contemporary design language and the innovative construction techniques the office implements in their projects.

The lighting design and the incorporation of indoor vegetation were two main issues in this Project.

The incorporation of vegetation inside the building produces undeniable positive effects on the users. Such effects include stress and anxiety reduction, improvements in concentration and the perceived welfare, which have been broadly studied (Ulrich1, 1984, Lohr2, 1996, Faber Taylor3, 2002). The aesthetic effects of vegetation are not only limited to those related to visuals, but also the scent, the humidity and an improvement in the air quality that evocates a sense of connection with nature, luxury and careful attention.

The lighting is a main topic in public spaces. In this case, the office has designed a system that combines properly modulated natural light, which penetrates through skylights on the roof, with indirect artificial lighting that emanates from the ceiling, melting in, with the aim of creating a warm atmosphere which highlights the formal and geometrical richness, and gives the airport an unseen character for a building of its kind.

[Ahmet Pasha]

They might make it bigger but how will they bring business to the airport from around the world?? And compete with the rest of the world??

They might make it bigger but how will they bring business to the airport from around the world?? And compete with the rest of the world??

Just Like Turkey's Istanbul Airport. Build more berths, landing points, increase capacity like 10 times from existing, build shops, hotels, and transit points, then put heavy transit fees.

What happened to Lahore Airport New Design? PTI?
