Karachi Airport may soon get a Red Line link

Travelling to and from Jinnah International Airport may soon become easier, with the BRT service planned to pass close to the airport, a senior Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) official said.

Deputy Director General Works and Development Sumair Saeed made the announcement during the PAA’s e-Kachehri, where passengers and members of the public raised concerns and shared suggestions about airport facilities and services.

According to the PAA, the authority has already provided land and issued a no-objection certificate for the Red Line bus service. Once developed, the route will pass near the airport, providing passengers with an additional public transport connection to and from the terminal.

Saeed also said a major renovation of Karachi airport was being planned, while measures related to flight scheduling and slot management were under consideration. Further expansion of airport facilities is also expected.

During the e-Kachehri, passengers raised complaints about airline services, ticketing, flight delays and commercial facilities. Saeed directed relevant officials to investigate the complaints and coordinate with airlines where required, while regulatory matters were to be referred to the appropriate authorities.
