In all over the world, airports are considered to be the miracle of Construction. It is very fast and big. Among many portions, a runway is the most important part of any airport, usually, we think like that but there are other major buildings, require in airport vicinity and these buildings are necessary to get and make the flow of flights and cargo. Big sizes godowns and hangers and workshops must be in the vicinity of an international airport. Pakistan is a rich country in land concerns and its airports have vast fields in its boundary walls. Pakistani airports remain busy due to domestic and international flights schedule. There is very few cargo flights land on Pakistani airports in a day.
Overall, Pakistan has good Air Cargo business but flight schedule is not very consistent. Pakistan Civil aviation authority has noticed that Pakistani airports have the potential to increase cargo business by using its free land. Cargo carrier hanger and cargo godowns on the airport may give that opportunity to the incoming cargo flights to load and un-load from the specific area of the airport and depart towards their destinations.
In South Asia, security is a hot issue. Different countries have worst conditions, so many countries drop their routes and close flights operations to these countries. In this concern, Pakistan is very lucky and it’s all airports are very secure and safe due to their locality and situation. Airports of Pakistan are in cantonment areas, mostly, so it is considered the safest locality to deal any operations like this. Flights, planes, passengers and emigrants are very secure in that locality. Cargo goods are also secure in godowns and hangers if they are available at the airports and play important role in the way towards Cargo to Pakistan.
Foreign companies demand security, first of all, and if Pakistan ensures them that it has safe environment then it will give boom in its cargo business on its all airports. Proper arrangements to load and un-load cargo goods and cargo items are necessary and mandatory to increase cargo business. Airports of Pakistan have the potential to expand and make new buildings if necessary for cargo storage and cargo operations. By utilizing them, Pakistan can increase its export via air traffic and can earn valuable foreign exchange. It is the need of the time as well that Pakistan grows its cargo activities from its airports.
Pakistan has the potential in airline sector to maintain cargo operation internationally. Pakistan International Airlines is its national flag carrier and has a good repute in all over the world for its good services.
Pakistan can increase its cargo business, especially air cargo business by utilizing its cargo terminals and hanger, if new buildings and hangers are required for cargo activity, then airports of Pakistan have enough spare space to construct new buildings for this purpose and Pakistan should utilize the spare space for its national interests.
