Zia was happy with the number of passengers and air cargo, and he said that 102 domestic and international flights were running smoothly out of Faisalabad airport.

He said that the old runway could only fit small planes, so the government built a new one for wide-bodied planes because they expected the number of passengers and air cargo from the city and its surrounding areas to grow.

He also said that construction work on the air cargo complex had begun and would be finished this year at the request of the FCCI.
