Islamabad airport

Published September 23, 2017

ISLAMABAD airport is one of the worst airports in the world. Recently I had to catch a flight for Karachi but it took me more than an hour to enter the airport.

The Rawalpindi police and airport authorities block roads close to the airport whenever they like. Authorities concerned let the vehicles go inside the car park even if there is no space available and charge Rs80 as parking fee. When drivers do not find space to park cars, they move out and then again try to re-enter the car park, thus jamming the traffic.

I request the authorities concerned to look into the matter and take necessary steps.
