Karachi (Much need build a new Terminal)

Lahore (already upgradation underway car parking of 4500 cars almost finished time to work on terminal building)

Quetta (just recently upgraded and already planned fir secondary runway so what's new they gonna add up)

Multan (similar terminal building is not so old runway upgradation planned)

Faisalabad (Terminal building recently upgraded by last Government runway upgradation planned)

So it's gonna be just runways upgradation and secondary runway construction

Perhaps, they are planning to build smoking area and stop snatching lighters to bring these airports one step closer to international standards?

Nah they are making currency declaration counters at Airports

 

[El Sidd]

So just a couple of signs and its done i guess then?

Soon enough ghost airports will start appearing in the country as money launderers and majboor awam looks for ways out of the tyranny of taxation.

Well, I don't have problem with declaring currency but the frustration of having cigarettes but no lighter is something which only a smoker can understand , it's more annoying that it's not because somehow our officials become health conscious at airports, they do it so that they can make as much money as possible.
