Does that white rectangle marked as “expansion area” also include the grass land, because in updated google maps, the grass is gone and the land has been dug. So according to google maps, the expansion is much bigger than the one marked on the figure above.

Means we won't see expanded terminal until 2030 at least. IMO, PCAA should simply design a larger greenfield airport across Ravi near Shiekhupura connected to freeway to serve Lahore, Okara, Faisalabad and Sargodha regions. Expanding current airport will not serve anyone beyond Lahore...... it can only be an alternate for Amritsar at most.

Where will PCAA find 2 billion dollars to build a brand new airport that will be 70 kilometers from Lahore??

This airport is connected to other parts of North Punjab through the motorway via ring road.
