OPEN NAWABSHAH AIRPORT (WNS)
I have very important suggestions to improve flight services and make NAWABSHAH Sindh Airport a profitable and successful airport.
1. Please Upgrade and Start airport as “NAWAB SHAH AIRPORT”.
2. Please provide permanent Re-Fuelling installations and services at the airport so that
Direct Flights can be resumed from NAWABSHAH Sindh.
3. NAWABSHAH District Government, NAWABSHAH Chamber of Commerce jointly with
help of industrialists and agriculturalists of NAWABSHAH Sindh can invest and operate
NAWABSHAH Sindh International Airport the way Sialkot International Airport is
functioning. In this regard a
delegation must be formed and sent to Sialkot to learn from their successful experience.
4. To make our Airport a success DIRECT FLIGHTS must be launched immediately. Without
DIRECT access to Karachi the purpose of having an Airport in NAWABSHAH Sindh will
not be successful. To make our airport a success Immediate DIRECT flights to Karachi
must be resumed
ASAP on Daily basis. There is a huge volume of Traffic From NAWABSHAH to Jinnah
International Airport Karachi to connect. Thousands of People from all over Sindh and
NAWABSHAH Sindh daily commute to Jinnah International Airport. Connecting
NAWABSHAH Airport with Karachi DIRECTLY would solve this problem and
NAWABSHAH Airport would become one of the busiest airports of Pakistan.
5. I highly recommend that initially 2 Direct flights Daily between NAWABSHAH and
Karachi must resume. One flight should depart for Karachi from NAWABSHAH in
Morning and 2nd flight should depart for Karachi in the early evening from
NAWABSHAH so that People of NAWABSHAH Sindh can connect with International
flights easily and smoothly. Later on a Commuter Shuttle service of 6 to 8 flights between
NAWABSHAH and Karachi should resume in phase One. While in phase 2 10-15 flights
daily between NAWABSHAH and Karachi should be commenced. Location and Air
Distance of NAWABSHAH Sindh and Karachi is in the same bracket like:
Toronto-New York, Toronto-Chicago, Toronto-Ottawa, Toronto-Montreal, New York-
Chicago, Kualalumpur-Singapore, Dubai-Abu Dhabi, Sydney-Melbourne etc. All these
cities i have mentioned have fast commuter shuttle flight services and generate great
amount of revenues. NAWABSHAH Sindh and Karachi sector must be looked through the
same prism and vision.
6.DIRECT flights for Dubai and Abu Dhabi must be launched from NAWABSHAH Sindh
airport immediately for fast and convenient connections for International Travel at initial
level.
7. PIA should resume International flights for NAWABSHAH Sindh for following
destinations as soon as Possible:
a. Dubai
b. Abu Dhabi
c. Toronto
d. London
e. New York
f. Bangkok
g. Beijing
h. Jeddah.
I. Medinah
j. colombo
K.Doha
L. Muscat
M.Bahrain
N. Turkey
For Example a flight will be Karachi-Nawabshah-Toronto or NAwabshah-
karachi-Toronto, and
Toronto-Nawabshah-Karachi or Toronto-karachi-Nawabshah and secondly Karachi-
Nawabshah-
Jeddah or Nawabshah-karachi-jeddah and Jeddah-karachi-Nawabshah or Jeddah-
Nawabshah-
karachi. It is nothing new the way PIA and airblue connects Lahore, Islamabad,
Faisalabad.Multan and Sialkot the same way we are asking Nawabshah Sindh should be
connected. and this Airport coverd major cities of sindh for example sukkur, Dadu
Mirpurkhas, Hala, Matiari Hyderabad, Sehwan khairpur and other cities this location is
centre of isndh
8. Nawabshah District Government and Nawabshah Chamber of Commerce should initiate a
dialogue with private airlines both domestic and international like Air Blue, Shaheen,
ETIHAD Airways, EMIRATES, GULF AIR, SRILANKAN Airlines Etc…..to start flights
from our city and sell them how important and profitable it is for them. WE have to
Market aggressively our City and our Airport.
9. NawabShah Dsitrict Government and Nawabshah Chamber of Commerce have to
continue their pressure building for rapid modernization and expansion of Nawabshah
Sindh Airport so that Big Jumbo Jets, Boeing and Air Bus planes can land and take off
from our city. We need to build hangers and modern runways and aprons for
International Aircrafts movements. A push for a new and most modern terminal building
must be moved forward at the same time.
10.Cargo Flights must resume from our Airport ASAP to facilitate the fast functioning of
industrial and agricultural sector which is a back bone for our city’s rapid development.
FEDEX and DHL can also be included as they also do a great business in Nawabshah
Sindh.
