ISLAMABAD, Mar 11 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari Friday said that the need for constructing a new state-of-the art airport for Islamabad, equipped with all modern facilities, is being felt for quite some time as the existing one was unable to meet the growing requirements of passengers and cargo. These remarks were made by him in a briefing held in the Presidency to review the progress on the new Benazir Bhutto International Airport Islamabad project. The briefing was given by Acting Director General Civil Aviation Authority AVM Riaz-ul-Haq.

Briefing the media Spokesperson to the President Farhatullah Babar said that it was informed that Benazir Bhutto International Airport will become operational by June 2013 when dry tests runs will begin.
He said the President, during the meeting, reiterated the commitment of the present government to improve country’s communication infrastructure of rail, roads, ports and the airports.
