The expansion of Sardar Farooq Ahmed Khan Leghari Airport in Dera Ghazi Khan is expected to be completed by January 2028, Federal Minister Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari said on Monday.
During a visit to the airport, the minister inspected the expansion project and received a briefing from the Civil Aviation Authority on its progress and planned improvements. The project will cost Rs. 5.5 billion and increase the runway length from 1.9 kilometers to 3 kilometers.
The runway’s width will also double from 100 feet to 200 feet. The expansion includes the installation of modern lighting systems to enable nighttime landings, along with new waiting lounges and other passenger facilities.
Leghari said four major development projects were underway in Dera Ghazi Khan, including the expansion of the Indus Highway.
He also said Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif was working on a cancer hospital project in the city. Additionally, work is underway on a sewerage project designed to meet the needs of the divisional headquarters for the next 50 years.
