The Punjab government is considering building a brand new airport in the city to help deal with the growing air traffic congestion. It is a big news for Lahore.
With more people flying in and out of Lahore every year, the current Allama Iqbal International Airport is feeling the pressure, and this new project could be the solution.
According to officials, the proposed location for this airport is near Ravi City, right next to the M-3 motorway. It would be roughly 30 kilometers away from the existing Allama Iqbal International Airport. The location seems strategic and could provide easier access for travelers from different parts of the city.
Right now, the project is still in its early stages. Government officials are busy figuring out how much it will cost and exploring different financing options to make it happen. They’re being careful not to rush into anything without proper planning.
If this airport becomes a reality, it could bring some major benefits to the region. The government believes it will create thousands of new jobs, attract both local and international investment, and significantly improve connectivity for Punjab and beyond.
However, no final decisions have been made, and officials haven’t announced any timelines for when construction might begin or when the airport could open its doors.
