The Punjab government has prepared a plan to build a new airport in Lahore, the Ravi Urban Development Authority (RUDA) has identified a proposed site near Ravi City adjacent to the M-3 motorway.
According to a news report, the new airport would be located about 30 kilometres from Allama Iqbal International Airport. Consultations are under way on the project’s cost and financing model, and authorities stressed the plan remains at an initial stage.
It is pertinent to mention that constructing the new airport within Lahore would reduce pressure on the city’s existing air-traffic system and create opportunities for employment and investment. No timelines or final financing decisions have been announced.
