I personally think that those airport will be on Balochistan side where alot of Qatari's come to play hunting.

highly unlikely.

Faisalabad is the best airport for such activity. Houbara Bustard they are after is being farmed there and those are what they hunt these days. As far as hunting Markhor is concerned those are hunted by US hunters who pay far less and it is a very difficult terrain something these Arabs do not like.

Dears are also hunted but they are plenty in the surrounding areas of Faisalabad.

Balochistan need airports indeed but according to CPEC and CAA only airports that can be considered for upgrades are not in Balochistan. If you may have seen the developments under CPEC Gwadar airport is under construction all the flights to this airport are flying to Pasni instead. The plan submitted by China was to make Gwadar airport International and Pasni as Domestic linking the two with high speed rail and road connections.

Quetta and Loralai are on the Western CPEC route which is also under development. Hence New Airports must be made in these cites to compensate for the influx of personnel. This is only going to work once specific areas for industries are identified and work is initiated (phase 2 of the main project). Considered after Gwadar is functional 5-7 yrs at-least in my personal opinion.

In my personal opinion Islamabad airport will not be upgraded then this opens up an new debate which is the 5th and final airport that can be upgraded. This only leave me with one option DI KHAN Airport, which is again not in Balochistan rather in KPK and the starting point of the Western CPEC Route.
