Improvement of Faisalabad Airport runway to complete by end of February  

Work on maintenance and upgradation of Faisalabad International Airport is underway and is expected to be completed by end of February, 2023.

This was stated by Airport Manager Anwar Zia during a meeting with Dr Khurram Tariq, President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) in Faisalabad.

The Airport Manager said the airport was handling weekly 120 flights but that number declined due to corona pandemic.

 

He said the secondary runway has been upgraded with an estimated cost of Rs 6bn to accommodate the landing and take-off of wide-bodied airplanes. He was optimistic that Qatar and other international airlines would start their operation early this year at the upgraded runway.

 

Anwar Zia said that work on the air cargo terminal is also in the final stages and hopefully it would become operational by March.
