“Expansion of Faisalabad International Airport is divided in two parts; Rs1.3 billion is allocated for the first phase, which will be completed in January, 2018, whereas we are focusing to install latest navigation system in the 2nd phase of this project.”

The airports newly constructed and renovated lounge would serve 600 passengers at the same time, while expanded airport apron would allow three big planes to land and load simultaneously. He further directed to establish the new cargo shipment system at the airport to improve the cargo facilities. He said two bridges were also being constructed for viable movement of passengers across the airport.

The advisor directed the officials to install latest landing lights to cope with smog and fog and to ensure smooth schedule of all flights. He also directed the officials to start daily flights from Faisalabad to Jaddah.

Visiting the PIA office at the airport, Khan instructed to update it as a cutting-edge workplace and asked for a feasibility report in this regard. He also instructed the officials to facilitate passengers and to pay attention to cleanliness and quality of other facilities.

The PM’s advisor on aviation said he would visit the airport again to check the pace of work and inspect the quality measures.
