About Faisalabad Intl. Airport
Faisalabad International Airport, located about 10 kilometers southwest of Faisalabad's city center in Punjab, Pakistan, holds significance as a key transportation hub for the major industrial and textile activities in the region. The airport serves not only Faisalabad but also surrounding areas, including Tandlianwala, Kamalia, Jaranwala, Jhang, Chiniot, and others.
Handling both domestic and international flights, Faisalabad International Airport also serves as a standby military base for the Pakistan Air Force. Airlines such as Air Arabia, flydubai, Serene Air, AirSial, and Pakistan International Airlines contribute to the airport's connectivity.
Originally established to cater to the textile industry, the airport has undergone renovations to accommodate the growing number of citizens living abroad. The modernized terminal features lounges, briefing halls, concourse facilities, porter services, rent-a-car options, and refreshment counters.
For travelers heading from the airport to the city center, various transportation options are available. Taxis, offering door-to-door service, can be found outside the terminal, and negotiating the fare beforehand is customary. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Careem are also accessible, providing quick pickups and transparent, in-app pricing.
Public buses, though the most economical option, require a short walk to the main road for access. However, their travel time can be longer due to multiple stops and potential crowds.
Additional considerations include the possibility of airport shuttle services offered by some hotels and the importance of choosing licensed taxis or ride-hailing services for optimal safety.
