Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) proposes to upgrade and expand the capacity of Peshawar International Airport, in the north west frontier region of the country, to meet the increase in air-traffic requirements.
Almost 95 percent strength of the existing air traffic load at the Peshawar International Port is foreign bound, according to official sources.
Apart from this, quite a good number of foreign bound passengers, hailing from this region of Pakistan, have to travel long distances to take the flights, because of lack of facilities.
A number of new airlines have also expressed willingness to start their services from Peshawar International Airport.
