  • The funds are better used for other civilian projects (Waste Management, Water Sanitation, Medicine manufacturing grants)

Just like Jinnah Airport in Karachi, a very beautiful Unique airport

There were plan to add another runway and this time to keep distance between runway according to world standard so the runway can be used simultaneously and not one at a time

today two runways do not meet standard so only one aircraft can takeoff or land at a time even though there are two runways [emoji6]

Not sure who was the genius who designed it
Dubai airport has same runways as Islamabad and it is 2nd busiest. Management is main problem.

someone needs to file a case in the supreme court before they destroy the airport completely

the gov needs to understand the Airport is NOT a stadium that can hold 50000...its made for passengers!

ISLAMABAD: The National Highway Authority (NHA) on Monday told the Senate Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Reforms that metro bus service from Peshawar More Interchange to New Islamabad International Airport will be functional by 2020.

The committee meeting, chaired by Agha Shahzaib Durrani, was informed that the 25.6 kilometres road track for the project has been completed, while work on electrical part of the project was under way.

“The NHA will make the metro bus project functional by February 2020,” said a senior NHA official.

The committee also discussed construction and upgrading of the highway between Durgai Shabozai and Tonsa. Briefing the committee, Balochistan Works Department official said the project was announced in 2009, while its estimated cost as per the PC-I was Rs6 billion. However, the authorities approved a revised PC-I of Rs4.085 billion in 2013, they added.

Because of delay, the officers said the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) shifted the project from the Balochistan Development Authority to the Communications and Works Department, following which work on the task started in 2017. So far, funds amounting to Rs1.8 billion have been released for the project and 42 per cent of the work is completed, they added.

The said delays in the work have increased the cost by 22 per cent.

So far, the federal government has released Rs0.6 billion out of the earmarked Rs1.65 billion while the provincial government released Rs1.24 billion of funds out of Rs1.74 billion. Due to the addition of six new bridges and other components, the cost of the project shoot up by Rs5 billion.
 
According to Ex PIA chief Marshal Arshad Malik, this so called Latest and greatest Islamabad Airport doesn’t have Runway system for Airplanes to Land in high fog or bad weather. Only Airport in Pakistan that has it, is Lahore and system was donated by Qatar.

He also stated, system isn’t much expensive either but poor management.

wrong

The main runway 28L is equipped with instrument landing system (ILS) Category 3

even if you have latest CATIII-B system sir still you need aircraft equipped with ILS CAT3 landing systems and crew is trained for doing it . otherwise you have to divert the flight for poor visibility . lets say delhi last week diverted 46 flights and its equipped with latest ILS CAT3B .

Tensa Barriers have been installed at #Islamabad Airport in #Pakistan.

The barriers will provide a better flow of passenger traffic at passport control.

Such barriers are to be rolled out across all major airports.
