Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has announced plans to introduce new transportation facilities at three of the country’s busiest airports. The initiative aims to improve passenger convenience and reduce travel time within airport premises.
According to reports, the new facilities will be installed at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, and New Islamabad International Airport in Islamabad.
As part of the project, the PAA has invited bids from interested companies for the installation of chairlifts, cable lift cars, and ziplines. The authority is seeking qualified firms to participate in the development and operation of these facilities.
Officials said the proposed transportation systems will help passengers move more efficiently between airport terminals and parking areas. Travelers will be able to use chairlifts, cable cars, and ziplines to reach different sections of the airport with greater ease.
The PAA believes the initiative will improve the overall passenger experience. Airport authorities say the facilities are intended to save valuable time, especially during busy travel periods when airports handle large numbers of passengers.
The project represents a unique approach to improving airport mobility in Pakistan. By introducing alternative transport options within airport premises, officials hope to reduce walking distances and make movement easier for travelers carrying luggage.
According to airport authorities, the planned facilities will be designed to provide safe and convenient transportation. The systems are expected to connect key areas of the airports, including terminal buildings and parking zones.
The announcement comes as Pakistan continues efforts to modernize airport infrastructure and improve services for domestic and international passengers. Authorities have been working on several initiatives aimed at enhancing efficiency, comfort, and accessibility at major airports.
Industry observers say the project could become one of the most distinctive airport transportation initiatives in the region. If implemented successfully, the facilities may offer passengers a faster and more convenient way to travel within large airport complexes.
The invitation for bids marks the first step in the development process. Interested companies will now have the opportunity to submit proposals for the installation and operation of the planned systems.
