Re: New Islamabad International Airport Project
the project is getting a good shape now, but its too much delayed i.e. completion in 2016; what was the original date of completion set at the time of starting this New Islamabad Airport project?

Re: New Islamabad International Airport Project
The new airport looks impressive yes but what is being done about the limited air activity. To date no Western carrier flies to Pak and with no plans to re-start anytime soon. What a waste it will be if the only aircraft movements are the usual PIA rust-buckets, Russian cargo planes and gulf carriers with their capacity dumping.

PM Asks for Airport Completion by March 31, 2015
According to PTV News, today Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif visited the under construction airport and asked Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to complete airport construction work by March 31, 2015.
According to the news channel, construction of a new airport for Islamabad was initially planned in year 1984.
The construction work of new airport began in year 2007 and it was due to be completed in year 2010. The construction work kept getting delayed for variety of reasons.
According to briefing given to the prime minister during his visit to the under-construction airport today:
* Ninety-eight percent of aircraft fuel supply system work at the airport is complete.
* Fifty-five percent of Air Traffic Control (ATC) complex construction work at the airport is complete.
* The airport will have fifteen passenger boarding bridges.
During the briefing, the Prime Minister said that the new airport should have water supply reservoirs/dams and its own power station for electricity generation.

Re: New Islamabad International Airport Project
According to DAWN newspaper report today, the new airport probably will not be named after Benazir Bhutto because in press release about PM's visit the new airport is called New Islamabad International Airport.raihans wrote:on the welcome sign board, they did not wrote New Islamabad Intl Airport or New BBIA, are they going to change its name?
Last night state-run PTV News channel was also calling is as Islamabad's new international airport.
According to Information Minister, the previous government had already named the airport at Chaklala as Benazir Bhutto International Airport and another airport cannot have same/similar name because it will confuse pilots.

Re: New Islamabad International Airport Project
If i had the chance I would name it Liaquat Ali International Airport
He's the most appropriate person who should have an airport named after himself. If nor Then Islamabad International is fine aswell.
