RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD:
With the new Islamabad International Airport expected to be formally operated from April 20., The Rawalpindi Regional Transport Authority (RTA) in Rawalpindi have decided to start a shuttle service for passengers.

The service is expected to start work by the end of April on a trial basis which will ferry passengers to the new airport from two different locations in Rawalpindi, Rawat and Koral Chowk.

One route would start from Rawat, pass through Kutcheri Chowk, Saddar, Peshawar Road, Chor Chowk, Pirwadhai Mor, Golra Mor, Chungi 26, and Motorway Chowk before heading to the new airport.

The other route would commence from Koral Chowk and head to the Benazir Bhutto International Airport, then to Ammar Chowk, Kutcheri Chowk, Saddar and Peshawar Road and would conclude at the new airport.

The Rawalpindi Regional Transport Authority (RTA) Secretary Khalid Yameen Satti said that they will initially engage a private transport company, Faisal Movers, to operate the service.

hearing some breaking news from sources that their is a massive water leak in the baggage systems area which has but back the opening date.


And here comes the confirmation - opening delayed till may

corruption at its finest, Ch Munir makes a substandard baggage area which is flooded days before the opening of the airport. Imagine what will go wrong when the airport is working at full capacity.
 
.
The main concern at the moment is ASF base camp is not completed which may cause the security risk. Different intelligence agnencies submitted their reports thats why ASF is not ready to start operation. On the other side all airlines were informed earlier to start operation on 20th but later informed again by tha aviation authority about further delay.

Shiny new Islamabad International Airport gets final touches ahead of inauguration.......

The airport will now open on May 3.

After going through a number of hiccups and delays, the inauguration of the newly constructed Islamabad International Airport is in sight with a test flight having landed on its runway on April 7.

In its initial phase, the airport will be capable of handling nine million passengers and 50,000 tonnes of cargo every year. After its expansion, it would be able to serve up to 25m passengers a year by 2025, authorities say.

Ahead of its awaited inauguration — which was supposed to take place on April 20 but was moved to May 3 at the eleventh hour — the new and shiny airport is getting final touches so that it is fully operational by next month.
