MSK production presents first rendition of the Jinnah International Airport
Karachi for X-Plane 11.
Jinnah International airport is Pakistan’s largest international and domestic
airport. It is located in Karachi, Sindh, and its passenger terminal is also
commonly known as the Jinnah Terminal. The airport is named after Crown
attorney/statesman Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan and its first
Governor General, who was popularly known as the Quaid-e-Azam (“Great
Leader”).
The airport provides primary hub for the flag carrier; Pakistan International
Airlines (PIA), Shaheen Air International, and Airblue as well as many other
private airlines. The airport is equipped with aircraft engineering and
overhauling facilities including the Ispahani Hangar for wide-body aircraft.
Karachi was once a much busier airport. Between the 1960s and 1980s it was an
online station of several major airlines of the world including British
Airways, Interflug, TAROM, Alitalia, JAT Yugoslavia Airlines, Aeroflot,
Philippine Airlines, Nigeria Airways, Ethiopian Airlines, EgyptAir, East
African Airways, Kenya Airways, Air France, Qantas, Pan Am, Royal Jordanian,
Libyan Arab Airlines, Japan Airlines, Syrian Arab Airlines, Middle East
Airlines, Swissair, and SAS. However, due to the emergence of Dubai’s airport
on the world map, increased usage of longer haul aircraft, and the political
climate of Karachi during the 1990s, several airlines discontinued their
service to the airport.
In the past couple of years Karachi has seen a reversal in fortunes. The
dwindling numbers of international airlines have stabilized and whilst there
hasn’t been a marked increase in the number of airlines flying in to Karachi,
some have either increased the number of flights or resumed their old
operations.
Economic factors may be partly responsible for the upswing in activity at the
airport. As industrial growth in Karachi and the rest of Pakistan expands,
some European and Asian carriers are mooting resumption of services to Jinnah
International.
