[edit] Ispahani hangar

I see your point, Green Giant. How about a brief mention and a link to PIA's page? I think it's significant enough to get a mention. Waqas.usman 02:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I would agree with that, but make sure the link goes at the bottom amongst references or external links. Green Giant 03:25, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

I've added the link. Waqas.usman 05:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Airlines

The recent announcement by Lufthansa to resume flights seems to have started a few rumour mills particularly about airlines that are either planning to resume operations or start flights to Karachi. I appreciate this is causing a lot of excitement amongst aviation enthusiasts and there's lots of other airlines being mentioned e.g. Virgin Atlantic, bmi etc. Whilst there's no harm in mentioning them in narrative sections, only those airlines that are actually flying should be mentioned on the airlines list. For example American Airlines was incorrectly listed as flying to Karachi even though there are no plans for it to do so, hence I removed it.

I also want to question the relevance of listing old operators on this page? Is it really necessary to mention them as it doesn't really add any value to the page.

[edit] What is Karachi Airport's total passenger traffic?

The wikipedia article claims "16 million passengers use the airport annually, while the airport itself boasts a capacity of handling up to 22 million passengers in a year."

In 2004-2005 Karachi handled 5.6 million people as per CAA (http://www.caapakistan.com.pk/downloads/Apt_2004-05.pdf)

As per the ACI, the 100th busiest airport in the world was Jeju with 12 million people handled in 2006. Karachi doesn't figure in the top 100 list of world's busiest airports. So it cannot have a traffic of 16 million passengers or a jump of 10 million in one year.

2007 has not yet ended. So 2007 data is not yet in.
