Currently, an expansion project is underway at the Allama Iqbal International Airport after which the number of hangers will be increased from 7 to 22.
This will also increase the annual passenger capacity of airport from 6 million to 20 million which will be sufficient to cater the passenger load for next 15 to 20 years.
