The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) is set to begin major airport projects in three more cities, including Hyderabad.
As per sources, new airports are planned for Mirpur (Azad Kashmir), Dera Ismail Khan, and Hyderabad.
The feasibility study for the Mirpur airport is nearing completion, and land acquisition is already underway for the new Dera Ismail Khan airport.
This project is expected to address long-standing connectivity issues in southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and nearby areas.
In Hyderabad, authorities have been directed to resume commercial flight operations and establish an aviation training school to support skill development in the sector.
Meanwhile, the Sukkur Airport will undergo a complete reconstruction to serve as a regional hub for Sindh’s northern belt.
The PAA has also briefed the National Assembly on plans to reconstruct Sukkur Airport, aiming to transform it into a key facility for the region.
These projects are part of a broader strategy to expand and upgrade Pakistan’s aviation infrastructure, with international consultants from Japan and Switzerland involved in the design and planning phases.
