Gandhara International Airport [A national icon]


The world's most intelligent airport for Islamabad
Location: Fathe Jangg Road
Expected to be operational by 2014
Estimated cost $1000 million
Passenger handling capacity 9 million per year
Cargo handling capacity 100,000 tonnes per year
A special parking area for hijacked aircraft
Under ground cable network
Apron parking sufficient for contact stands
The design of the new terminal building will be architecturally significant for Pakistan, intended to produce a national icon. The design is planned to be sustainable and environmentally sound with use of natural daylight for main lighting and sun shading to cut cooling costs as well as an intelligent main roof (water conservation) and an elongated driveway length front portal (better views and more light).
