Additionally, expansion and upgrade projects at Sukkur, Skardu, and Dera Ghazi Khan airports are in progress to accommodate larger aircraft operations.
In a forward-looking initiative, a new greenfield airport for Dera Ismail Khan is in the planning stages, representing a pivotal step in bolstering Pakistan’s aviation sector. These updates were shared during the second e-court chaired by Acting Director General of PAA, Air Vice Marshal Zeeshan Saeed.

The DG issued specific instructions to address these concerns promptly, emphasizing the PAA’s dedication to making airport operations safer, more efficient, and passenger-friendly. Air Vice Marshal Zeeshan Saeed expressed gratitude for passenger feedback, calling it a vital resource for the continuous improvement of airport services.
