About 777 planes could land at Faisalabad International Airport after the expansion of its runway and a state-of-the-art cargo complex would also be established after completing due formalities and permission, said Airport Manager Ms. Tasneem Akhtar Jameel.
Addressing the business community at the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI), she requested exporters to provide the data of cargo load so that the process could be expedited. She said that many airlines had suspended their operation from Faisalabad but hopefully, they would return very soon.
She said that all new airlines would be allotted slots according to their demand as there was no hurdle to its allotment. “Contrary to Lahore, 100% baggage of passengers is being scanned at Faisalabad,” she added.
She also claimed that Faisalabad had been declared the most secured and safe airport of the country. Earlier, President FCCI Mr. Rehan Naseem Bharara said that Faisalabad had emerged on the global map of aviation when international flights started from this city in 2014-15 due to the efforts of the FCCI.—APP
