For a developed city it is mandatory that there must be a presence of effective
logistic support. As Sialkot is famous for producing export quality products so
it was essential that Sialkot International Airport should be constructed that supports
not only domestic flights but also international flights that will help to limit
time and expenses.
Before establishment of Sialkot International Airport Ltd (SIAL), Sialkot Dry Port
in Sambrial serves that purpose but it was not cost effective. So the urge of Sialkot
export product manufacturers, traders and other business entities were fulfilled
when then President of Pakistan General Pervez Musharraf approved the plan of establishing
Sialkot International Airport Ltd (SIAL) in February2001. One cannot deny the efforts
of Sialkot Chamber of Commerce behind the approval of Sialkot International Airport
Ltd (SIAL). Towards 15km west of Sialkot and 40-50 minutes drive away from Gujranwala
city an area was reserved for Sialkot International Airport Ltd (SIAL).
Recently there are developments occurring to establish international flights from
26th October 2008 between Sialkot and Abu Dhabi from to facilitate more passengers
to gulf twice a week. It is also disclosed that Qatar Airways is launching cargo
air flights from Sialkot to Doha which will enhance commerce and trade activities
from 27th of October 2008. Furthermore Sialkot to Muscat will be another service
from PIA starting from 29th or October. More good news is the recent announcement
of Hajj Flights from Sialkot Airport by Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani
during a talk with members of Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry. The Sialkot
Airport Hajj Flights will start for coming Hajj Season soon. The Sialkot International
Airport Authority has also insisted applicants to specify name of Sialkot International
Airport in their Hajj Application Forms for Hajj flights from Sialkot.
The establishment of Sialkot Airport (Pakistan) really paved a way for Sialkot traders,
export products manufacturers to transport their stuff with in no time to desired
destinations. Also Hajj Pilgrims from nearby cities e.g. Mirpur, Jhelum, Wazirabad,
Gujrat, Gujranwala, Narowal, Daska, Pasrur, Mandi Bahauddin can take benefit of
Sialkot Airport Hajj Flights. You can also check for updated
