The Pakistan Airports Authority is an authority created under the Pakistan Airports Authority Act of 2023 with the purpose of managing, operating, and developing airports and air transport services across the country. This Act is applicable to all airports and air navigation services involved in air transport and is applicable throughout Pakistan.[1]

The establishment of the Pakistan Airports Authority was part of a larger plan to restructure the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) into distinct regulatory and operational entities.[2] The objective was to bring about organizational changes with minimal adverse consequences.[3]

The Pakistan Airports Authority Bill of 2023 outlines the formation of an independent civil aviation regulatory body. On 21 July 2023, the bill received approval from the National Assembly, alongside the Pakistan Civil Aviation Bill of 2022.[4]

Proposed High-rise Headquarter

[edit]

Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) is set to build a Ground + 25-storey, energy-efficient, headquarters in Blue Area, Islamabad. Covering 1,240,990 sq. ft. the high-rise will consist of six basements for parking and a central atrium extending from the ground floor to the rooftop. Its curved architectural design, double-glazed curtain wall, and green courtyards reflect sustainability and innovation, setting a new benchmark for corporate infrastructure.[5][6]
