I am glad they are going to reconstruct this runway, we need the airports to exercise dual runway operations, but also this will allow traffic to flow easier once more airlines start to initiate services into Pakistan airports in the future.

Instead of reconstructing 25R/07L, they should have opted to construct a new runway on right of the existing 25R/07L and changing this existing runway 25R/07L to be a parallel taxiway with high-speed exits
