Btw, they should remove those stones/broken bricks scattered on barren patches of unpaved surface around taxiway/runway and cover that area completely with grass to make it look beautiful.

Interestingly following photo in Pakistan CAA advertisement in today's (December 7) newspaper shows artist's impression of new terminal building of Multan International Airport without passenger boarding bridges facility.

Maybe some old artist's impression of the new terminal building without boarding bridges has been used in CAA advertisement published today or have they dropped plans to install boarding bridges now ?



Earlier, models and artist's impression showed new terminal building equipped with two passenger boarding bridges.





Btw, according to an article in today's (December 7) newspaper, Multan International Airport upgrading project is likely to be completed by March 2013.

Features of project include:

11,000 feet x 150 feet runway with 900 feet x 150 feet overrun areas on both ends. 25 feet wide shoulders on both sides of runway and overrun areas.

755 feet x 475 feet rigid apron with 35 feet shoulders with complete airfield lighting system.

New passenger terminal having separate facilities for international and domestic passengers. 500 peak hour passengers for domestic departures and arrivals each. 500 peak hour passengers for international departures and arrivals each.

New cargo terminal, warehouse and cold storage.

Car park for 550 vehicles.

Shaheen is parked at the old apron. The new apron is the big empty lot in front of the new terminal. Currently only a few airport vehicles are parked at its edges.
