  • Karachi Airport was once the busiest airport between Europe and the Far East. From 1960 to 2000 average landing and take-off flights in 24 hours were around 60 to 80. But Pakistan airports have never had a condition that facilitates the transit, incoming or outgoing passenger the way other international airports. Pakistan business concern desire to participate in their commercial activities at the airports but the attitude of the CAA never been seen commercial and interested in such offers. Presently if one visit Karachi Airport, Lahore Airport or Islamabad Airport once can notice it look as if no one is interested in any economic activity. CAA come with open commercial friendly policy and these airports can generate billions for the country.
