Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
Even today Multan has only two jet bays which means that it can support only two jets simultaneously. So I think that two bays are enough to handle the current load. Although, to plan for future, it would have been better to have four.raihans wrote:thank you SM for sharing the latest photo, i can see just 2 boarding bridges, are these enough for the flights operating from MUX?

In Pakistan, CAA is not planning the infrastructure considering the future demand and requirements as other country's aviation authorities are doing. May be they need to raise tenders and commissions again and again for each upgrade

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
How many flights are handled by MUX on daily basis?
And the aircraft type used by these flights?

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
I think about three flights? Shaheen operates A320 and PIA ATR and Boeing 737?
by the way I flew from MUX to LHE and I have to say MUX current airportbuilding is in a very bad state when it comes to cleaning.

All The Way, It's PIA

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
Direct Flights Only
No. of Flights + Origin
PIA
8 Karachi
4 Islamabad
7 Lahore
1 Quetta
Shaheen Air
4 Karachi
2 Dubai
2 Medina
Air Indus*
7 Karachi
Fly Dubai
4 Dubai
So approximately 39 flights/week.
Total 2 bridges
Turn around time 1 hour.
Total hours in week: 24*7 = 168
Total Bridge time: 168 * 2 = 336
336/39 = 8.6. The current traffic will have to increase by 8 times before another set of bridges need to be installed.
If we take daylight time only in this case lets take a simple scenario of 12 hours. Even then the traffic will have to increase by 4 folds before new set of bridges will be needed.
I can safely say that for the foreseeable future Multan International is pretty well taken care of.

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
but not all the flights will require boarding bridges. atr 42 which now are even used for khi-mux wont be using the bridges.
im not sure if airlines will be 'forced' to use them or they can choose to use the usual staircase/bus combination.low cost airlines usually use their own equipments to save from payment for usage of boarding bridges

Re: CAA To Upgrade Multan International Airport
The terminal looks different from the "model" images given above. There certainly are similarities, but looks like the design is different and changed.
