Faisalabad Airport plan takes off

September 06, 2026 (MLN): The proposed Faisalabad Greenfield Airport has moved forward with consultations on its master plan, feasibility study and design, as authorities work on the infrastructure and connectivity framework for the project.

Consultants from the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) met Faisalabad Development Authority (FDA) Director General Muhammad Asif Chaudhary to discuss the proposed airport and its integration with the city’s future urban expansion.

The discussions covered the draft Faisalabad Master Plan, land use, road networks, transport infrastructure, zoning and connectivity between the city and the proposed airport.

The FDA said the master plan is being developed around Faisalabad’s projected population growth, future urban expansion, regional socioeconomic requirements and changing land-use patterns.

Officials also reviewed major arteries and transportation links that would connect the proposed airport with Faisalabad and surrounding areas.

FDA Director General Muhammad Asif Chaudhary said an integrated development framework would be required to ensure efficient connectivity with the airport while managing the expected increase in traffic and commercial activity.

He said the authority would provide technical and planning support to PAA consultants for the master plan, feasibility study and design work.

The proposed airport is expected to strengthen air connectivity for Faisalabad, one of Pakistan’s major industrial and commercial centers, while potentially supporting trade, exports, investment and employment.

The meeting also discussed coordination between relevant institutions and the exchange of technical information required for the project.
