Green field is the criteria used for noise sensitive land uses around new airports in rural settings and to minimize the purpose of flight operations causing noise. It is also to preserve the balance between the integrity of the airport and the quality of life of the community i.e; speech interference, sleep disturbance and annoyance.
In short, green field is high tech. airport where runways and operations are set in such a way that minimizes the interferance with community life and to some extant the surrounding biodiversity.

This is just a specifc criterion used by the AAI for development of a new greenfield airport. It is not directly relevant to this case.Abbas Ali wrote: A greenfield airport may be permitted where an existing airport is unable to meet the projected requirements of traffic or a new focal point of traffic emerges with sufficient viability. It can be allowed both as a replacement for an existing airport or for simultaneous operation. This aspect will have to be clearly spelt out in the notice inviting tenders.

Actually, none of the answers given above correctly define a greenfield airport. "Green" in this sense is not associated with environment, rather it is type of financing mechanism used for large scale infrastructure or industrial projects.
The World Bank's official definition of a greenfiled project is as follows:
A private entity or a public-private joint venture builds and operates a new facility for the period specified in the project contract. The facility may return to the public sector at the end of the concession period. The Database classifies greenfield projects in four categories:
* Build, lease, and own. A private sponsor builds a new facility largely at its own risk, transfers ownership to the government, leases the facility from the government and operates it at its own risk, then receives full ownership of the facility at the end of the concession period. The government usually provides revenue guarantees through long-term take-or-pay contracts for bulk supply facilities or minimum traffic revenue guarantees.
* Build, own, transfer, or build, own, operate, transfer. A private sponsor builds a new facility at its own risk, owns and operates the facility at its own risk, then transfers ownership of the facility to the government at the end of the concession period. The government usually provides revenue guarantees through long-term take-or-pay contracts for bulk supply facilities or minimum traffic revenue guarantees.
* Build, own, and operate. A private sponsor builds a new facility at its own risk, then owns and operates the facility at its own risk. The government usually provides revenue guarantees through long-term take-or-pay contracts for bulk supply facilities or minimum traffic revenue guarantees.
* Merchant. A private sponsor builds a new facility in a liberalized market in which the government provides no revenue guarantees. The private developer assumes construction, operating, and market risk for the project (for example, a merchant power plant).
Greenfield projects are used in all kinds of cases and are generally projects which are not expected to be profitable for some time, but make long-term commercial sense.

Encroachments delay Islamabad airport stone laying
RAWALPINDI (January 29 2006): Mixing up and giving almost free hand to encroachers by the Rawalpindi and Attock Police has delayed foundation-stone laying ceremony of the first-ever green 300 million-dollar new Islamabad airport.
On the complaint, made by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) against police failure, higher-ups of the Punjab Police have directed the Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Police, Rawalpindi range, and District Police Officers (DPOs), Rawalpindi and Attock, to get vacated the encroached lands earmarked for construction of the new airport project without any delay.
The CAA had already awarded contract to a renowned international consultant - Louis Berger Group of USA - in association with Pakistani consulting firm ECIL, to undertake project management services.
Encroachments on the lands in both Rawalpindi and Attock districts of the Punjab province are creating hurdles in immediate foundation-stone laying ceremony of the project.
After signing the first contract for Project Management Services, the CAA is close to receiving bids and proposals from international design consultants and signature architects for design of the new airport.
Soon after the mobilisation of the Project Management Consultants, other processes for invitation of bids and award of construction contracts will be initiated. It is anticipated that the new facility will become operational by 2010.
The new airport site is located on 3,200 acres of land, acquired by the CAA in 1980s at Pind Ranjha near Fateh Jang, some 20 kilometres from Zero-Point, Islamabad, and 23 kilometres from Saddar, Rawalpindi.
The airport will be developed at par with international standards to serve as major hub for all aviation activities in the region.
The new airport is envisaged to be a modern landmark structure symbolic to represent 21st century Pakistan, as it will be the diplomatic and business gateway to Pakistan through the capital city of Islamabad.

All set for ground-breaking ceremony of Islamabad airport
RAWALPINDI: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has completed the homework and preparations for the ground-breaking ceremony to mark the beginning of the construction of New Islamabad International Airport (NIIA).
Sources told APP that the CAA has appointed a well-known US firm Lois Berger as Management Consultant for the construction of the NIIA, while the Design Consultant’s selection would be finalised by March this year.
The sources said the CAA began land acquisition for the project in 1984 and acquired about 30,000 Kanals of land for the airport at Fateh Jang. This territory falls in Rawalpindi and Attock districts. Payments to almost all property owners have been made in different phases, the sources said adding that the project would be completed in four years. "The tenders for construction of roads inside the boundary have been floated in the media, while work on boundary wall and watchtowers is in final stage," the sources added.

I have a positive opinion about President Ayub Khan but i strongly oppose naming any place as Ayub Khan ........
Afterall he was controversial figure in Pakistan's history, Islamabad International Airport or maybe Liaqat Ali Khan or Fatima Jinnah should be ok.

ISHFAQULLAH SHAWL
RAWALPINDI (February 08 2006): The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has appointed a US firm, Louis Berger, as management consultant for Rs 30 billion new Islamabad International Airport (NIIA) construction project, while the appointment of design consultant is still awaiting.
The CAA has acquired about 30,000 kanals of land for construction of new Islamabad International Airport at Fateh Jang and payments were made to almost all the property owners in different phases, said a highly placed source in Islamabad Airport.
Talking to this scribe, the source said the process of land acquisition for the project had started in 1984 and the land acquired for the project fell in two districts Rawalpindi and Attock.
The tenders for construction of roads inside the boundary had been advertised in media, while the work on boundary wall and watchtowers was in final stage, said the sources. The work would commence after the groundbreaking ceremony by President General Pervez Musharraf, the source said, adding the project would be completed in four years.
To a question, the source said a new airline, the Etihad Airways of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would start operation from February 12, while many airlines had shown their interest in starting operation from Islamabad.

CAA Initiates New Islamabad International Airport Project
CAA initiates $300m new Islamabad airport project
Date: January 07, 2006
NIIA to have duty-free shops, hotels, air malls, business centre,food courts and recreational facilities By our correspondent
KARACHI: The first-ever green-field airport would be built in Islamabad at a cost of $300 million, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced on Friday.
Director General CAA, Air Marshal Pervez Akhtar Nawaz signed an agreement with a renowned international consultant - Louis Berger Group of USA - in association with Pakistani consulting firm ECIL, to undertake project management services.
The CAA is undertaking the development of the New Islamabad International Airport (NIIA) as part of the implementation of this prestigious project.
The contract signing ceremony was held at the CAA headquarters, Jinnah International Airport, Karachi.
The New Islamabad International Airport (NIIA) along with the new terminal building at Karachi and Lahore International Airports was part of CAA’s overall development programme.
However, due to financial commitments to the new terminal projects at Karachi and Lahore, along with other operational works, CAA could not launch this project earlier.
During last few years, CAA’s financial position has significantly improved and now it is able to undertake the mega project, the CAA spokesman said.
While the first contract for Project Management Services is signed, the CAA is close to receiving bids and proposals from international design consultants and signature architects for design of the new airport.
It is envisaged that the Design Consultants will commence their services by the end of March 2006. Soon after the mobilization of the Project Management Consultants, other processes for invitation of bids and award of construction contracts will be initiated. It is anticipated that the new facility will become operational by 2010.
The new airport site is located on 3,200 acres of land, acquired by CAA in 1980’s at Pind Ranjha near Fateh Jang, some 20km from Zero-Point, Islamabad and 23 km from Saddar, Rawalpindi involving driving time of only 20-25 minutes through network of motorways and highways.
The airport will be developed at par with international standards to serve as major hub for all aviation activities in the region.
Estimated to cost about $300 million, the new Airport facility, which is the first green-field airport in Pakistan, shall comprise a contemporary state-of-the-art passenger terminal building, control tower, runway with a provision of a secondary runway, taxiways, apron, cargo complex, and hangar together with all the necessary infrastructure and ancillary facilities. It would cater to the requirements of latest generation of modern passenger aircrafts. The new airport will have a modular design to handle 6.5 million passengers per annum and 100,000 metric tonnes cargo per annum.
Being a new airport, a significant portion of the land has been earmarked for commercial purposes such as duty-free shops, hotel and convention centre, air malls, business centre, food courts, leisure and recreational facilities.
The new airport is envisaged to be a modern landmark structure symbolic to represent twenty-first century Pakistan, as it will be the diplomatic and business gateway to Pakistan through the Capital City of Islamabad.
