Islamabad International Airport will be partially closed for eight days to facilitate vital maintenance and upgrade work aimed at improving the airport’s infrastructure and operational safety. The closure will primarily affect some runways and taxiways, allowing authorities to resurface pavements, repair technical equipment, and enhance navigational aids.
The maintenance is crucial to ensuring the airport meets international safety standards amid growing passenger and cargo traffic. During this time, some flights may be rescheduled or diverted, and passengers are strongly encouraged to monitor flight statuses and coordinate with airlines.
Airport management has assured that contingency plans are in place to minimize disruptions, with certain runways remaining operational for essential flights. Passenger facilities will remain open, though some services may face temporary restrictions.
This upgrade is part of a long-term strategy to increase the airport’s capacity and efficiency, improving safety, reducing delays, and preparing Islamabad International Airport to handle future growth in air traffic.
Passengers traveling during this period should allow extra time for travel, verify flight information, and stay informed through official channels.
