Pakistan Airports

In addition to the growing number of smaller city airports, Pakistan features three major international hubs which connect travelers ranging from Europe to Asia.

The largest of the airports is the Karachi based Jinnah International which is served by a variety of global airlines including Emirates Airlines, Lufthansa and Air China, in addition to a number of major regional Middle Eastern airlines and Pakistani based PIA. If you're flying privately, Jinnah also hosts a number of private landing fields for business and political visitors.

Outside of Karachi, the newly renovated Islamabad International Airport has undergone expansion to meet a growing demand. With the expansion, an increasing number of major airlines including British Airways now have regional hubs in the city, which serves as the administrative capital. While the airport's modernization improved traveler amenities, it is still slowed by the presence of frequent official diplomatic flights in and out of the airport, which leads to increased security as well as delaying regular flights.

In Lahore the Allama Iqbal International Airport is a major regional hub with flights from Emirates, Lufthansa, Thai Airways, as well as several other Middle Eastern airlines including Kuwait Airways.

Fares at the major airports can vary widely from season to season, as well as depending on the city of origin. In order to get the most cost effective rate, it's ideal to book well in advance and seek out the ideal destination and airline, as a growing number of incoming airlines provide travelers with more choices than ever before.
