Any body have idea why they opted JIAP in phase-2 while many other Airports which have pretty less Aircraft movements then JIAP are opted for Phase-1? Shouldn't be JIAP in first phase?

Must be for some technical reason Karachi is in phase II of the project.

Top three Pakistani airports traffic flow wise are:

1. Karachi Airport
2. Lahore Airport
3. Islamabad Airport

The Airport which have largest Aircraft Movement, Maximum cargo and Passenger movement and being kept at phase-2 should have some reason behind that. If you don't know exact reason some body else can jump in to answer. Random guess might not help.
