Islamabad Airport records
significant boost in cargo operations, collects Rs72.3mn
Islamabad International Airport
(IIAP) recorded a significant boost in cargo throughput charges (CTC),
collecting Rs72.3 million in March 2025—the highest monthly figure since
November 2021, when Rs49 million was collected, according to the Pakistan Airports
Authority (PAA).
The increase is largely credited to
the launch of dedicated import cargo operations by SF Cargo. The company began
using B757-200 aircraft on the Urumqi–Islamabad–Urumqi (URC-ISB-URC) route
under flight numbers 03-233/234.

According to the PAA, SF Cargo plans
to expand its service to four weekly flights in the near future, potentially
boosting cargo throughput figures even further.
