The exports of Pakistan have grown from US$ 9.135 billion in 2001-02 to US$ 16.469 billion in 2005-06 at an average annual rate of 15.9%. During the same period the imports have increased at even faster rate of 28.9% from US$ 10,340 billion to US$
28.581 billion. To overcome the increasing trade gap the government is adopting all measures to encourage growth in exports.
About 95% trade of Pakistan is carried out by sea. However, expensive articles, perishable goods and items requiring quick delivery are sent by air in spite of much higher freight rates. Although in terms of weight the share of exports sent by air is about
1.3%, in value terms it is estimated to be about 8%.
There are 42 civil airports in Pakistan, out of which 10 are categorized as international airports. The share of cargo handled at these airports during 2004-05 is shown in Table
1.1. Considering the volume of cargo handled by them and the potential for future growth the following were selected for the study:
¾ Karachi
¾ Lahore
¾ Islamabad
¾ Peshawar
¾ Faisalabad
¾ Multan
¾ Quetta
¾ Gwadar
The share of cargo handled at these airports during 2004-05 is shown in Table 1.1.

Construction of Sialkot airport is nearing completion and will commence cargo operations in 2007. This airport was also surveyed to explore its potential.
Considering the growth of air traffic it is estimated that the total air cargo will increase from about 330,000 tonnes in 2004-05 to about 866,000 tonnes in 2015-16.
The main constraint on volume of cargo lifted from the airports is the capacity and number of aircrafts operating from there. The facilities at the airports affect the efficiency with which the cargo is handled and processed. Capacity to lift the cargo can be increased only by attracting more airlines to operate their services. It has been pointed out by the stakeholders that the foreign airlines are not attracted to call at Pakistani airports because of the relatively high landing charges and the fuel prices.

The main purpose of sending cargo by air is to ensure expeditious delivery of cargo.
Security of air flights has now become a major concern. In case of cargo not being scanned or physically checked against explosives it is required to be detained at the airport for 24 hours cooling period, which defeats the purpose of sending the cargo by air. Physical examination causes damage and makes the goods liable for pilferage.
Modern cargo scanning equipment capable of detecting explosives has therefore become an essential requirement for handling of cargo at the airports. Most of the airports lack this.
Cargo handling terminals, especially those of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), do not have adequate capacity for handling the cargo. At present PIA transports over 50% of the air cargo. Special attention is needed to expand and modernize the cargo terminals at Karachi, Islamabad and Peshawar.
There is demand from the exporters for cold rooms to be provided for transport of perishable commodities. Where these facilities have been provided these are not being used. The traders complain that the facilities do not have a temperature controlled environment. There is a need for careful assessment of the type and extent of facilities required and then arrange accordingly.
The time involved in completion of various business processes at the airports is unduly long. Pakistan Customs Computerized System (PACCS) introduced by Customs at the container terminals needs to be extended to all airports and the IT systems of Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA), airlines, cargo handling agent and air cargo agents integrated with it.
The exporters have complained of lack of suitable lockers with strong rooms at Karachi,
Lahore and Peshawar airports for keeping gems and jewelry and other valuables. There are also complaints of excessive charges by PIA for carriage of such items.
CAA does not levy any throughput charges for the exports. It levies throughput charges at the rate of 2% of International Air Transport Association (IATA) tariff for the air freight on the normal imports and 5% of IATA tariff on imports requiring immediate clearance.
Actual freight paid on these consignments is usually much less than the IATA tariff and there are complaints from the air cargo agents on behalf of the importers that the charges levied by CAA are excessive.
Because of the geographical location of Pakistan there is great opportunity for exploiting sea-air multi-modal transport to Central Asian Republics (CAR). But this requires streamlining of related systems and procedures for quick transfer of cargo from sea ports to airport and promotion of regular air services to CAR.
In light of the survey of the above mentioned airports and discussions with the stakeholders the following are recommended:
Recommendations
General
1. PACCS may be introduced by Pakistan Customs at all airports and IT systems of
CAA, airlines, air cargo agents and cargo handling agents may be integrated with it to function as a Single Window.
2. Aircraft landing charges and fuel prices charged at Pakistani airports may be compared with the regional airports and rationalized to make them comparable with the charges at the regional airports.
5

3. CAA may establish suitable adjudication mechanism at each airport for quick resolution of disputes relating to throughput charges.
4. Modern scanners of adequate capacity for the cargo load may be installed at all airports for screening of cargo.
5. All stakeholders should be consulted during the planning stages of new airports at Islamabad and Gwadar and new terminal facilities at other ports to ensure that the cargo handling facilities are adequate and in keeping with the latest cargo handling practices and regulatory requirements.
6. PIA may introduce appropriate security arrangements in its aircraft for transport of gems and jewelry at a reasonable cost.
7. The procedures of all organizations involved in transport supply chain may be streamlined to facilitate development of sea-air-road multi-modal transport logistics.
Karachi Airport
8. To eliminate damage and pilferage of cargo the backyard area of airlines warehouses in CAA Cargo Complex Air Freight Unit (AFU) may be covered with sheds and caged. The sheds in examination area of AFU also need to be extended on both sides to cover the open area between the shed and the airline warehouses and the open space for receiving the cargo. Security against pilferage may be strengthened. A modern scanner of adequate capacity may be installed.
9. PIA Cargo Complex may be expanded to integrate all export, import and domestic cargo operations at one place. Necessary funding arrangement for early execution of this expansion may be made. There should be suitable provision for temperature controlled cool rooms for perishable commodities, chiller room for medicines, strong room with lockers for valuables, modern scanners and closed circuit TV monitoring.
10. The scattered cargo handling facilities at Karachi Airport may be integrated by developing a Cargo Village with modern warehousing and cold storage, and all other modern equipment required in such a facility. Necessary offices, other amenities and parking spaces may also be provided.
Lahore Airport
11. Construction of a permanent Customs block at the Cargo Complex of Allama
Iqbal International Airport may be taken in hand immediately. In the meanwhile suitable offices may be made available for the Customs staff to carry out their functions in a comfortable environment.
12. Suitable cold rooms for perishable commodities, chillers for medicines, strong rooms with lockers, scanners, and close circuit TV surveillance may be provided in the warehouses of all cargo handling agents including PIA. Separate space may be allocated for hazardous cargo.
13. Banking facilities, offices for air cargo agents, rest rooms for drivers, parking area for container trailers and other necessary amenities may be provided.
Islamabad Airport
6

14. PIA Cargo Terminal may be expanded by getting some more space allocated for it from the airport apron area, and the layout of the terminal improved on scientific lines to enable proper segregation, sorting, examination and flow of cargo. Weighbridge and modern scanner of adequate capacity may be provided.
Close circuit TV surveillance may be introduced. Separate provision may be made for handling livestock and hazardous cargo.
15. At the new Islamabad Airport a modern cargo complex may be built along with the airport terminal during the initial stages of building the airport. All stakeholders may be consulted during the planning stage.
Peshawar Airport arrangements on mutually acceptable terms may be worked out between PIA and Shaheen Airport Services (SAPS) to make use of the spare capacity in
SAPS premises for handling export cargo of PIA.
17. Arrangements may be worked out by the Ministry of Defence in coordination with
CAA, Airport Security Force (ASF), Army and Air Force to expand the Peshawar
Airport Terminal as proposed by CAA Works Section, Peshawar Airport and all modern facilities may be provided in the expanded cargo terminal.
Sialkot Airport
18. Sialkot International Airport (Pvt.) Limited (SIAL) may be provided all the facilities for efficient operation of Sialkot Airport as agreed in the Memorandum of
Understanding between SIAL and the Government of Pakistan.
Multan Airport
19. Runway may be extended and new cargo terminal built as already approved by the Government.
20. Modern scanner, weighbridge, Closed Circuit TV and other modern facilities may be provided in the new cargo terminal.
Faisalabad Airport
21. Cargo shed may be shifted close to the apron, if practicable.
Quetta Airport considered on the basis of operational requirements.
Gwadar Airport
23. At Gwadar basic issues relate to development of infrastructure for attracting industrial and commercial activities. The important actions that need to be taken are:
(i) Curb escalation of land prices by restricting transfer of property and making it incumbent on the allottees to establish within a specified period the enterprise for which the land has been allotted.
(ii) Establish a polytechnic institute for training of craftsmen like electricians, masons, plumbers, carpenters, mechanics etc. so that the development activities can take place.
7

(iii) Make the industrial area a Free Trade Zone exempted from levy of
Customs duty and other taxes like Jabal Ali in Dubai to attract investment.
24. New Airport may be built to commence operation when the industry starts to take off and a modern cargo complex may be built along with the airport.

1.1 The meeting on National Trade Corridor Improvement Programme (NTCIP) was held on 25 th
March, 2006 in Islamabad under the chairmanship of the Prime
Minister. The Prime Minister asked all relevant agencies to move promptly on redesigning of procedures and processes, strengthening of infrastructure i.e. roads, railways, airports and ports to improve the logistics chain with a view to reducing the cost of doing business, facilitating trade and investment in Pakistan, and increasing competitiveness of Pakistani products in global markets. With regard to improvement in cargo handling facilities, the Prime Minister was pleased to direct Ministry of Commerce to prepare a strategy to forecast growth of air cargo so that infrastructure development could keep pace with such growth, and with the specific requirements of different regions.
1.2 In order to discuss projections about the future requirements of air cargo facilities at airports, a meeting of key stakeholders was held in Islamabad under the chairmanship of Secretary Commerce on 29 th
April, 2006. List of participant of the meeting is at
Annex-I. After having thorough deliberation on relevant issues, the meeting decided that a detailed study may be carried out by hiring a Consultant for a four weeks period. The meeting discussed and finalized the Terms of Reference (ToR) of the study (Annex-II).
Secretary Commerce asked the participants to provide all relevant information to the
Consultancy Firm, when the firm approaches them for the purpose.
1.3 Ministry of Commerce invited applications from consultants by advertisement through press, for conducting this study. As adequate response was not received from private sector for carrying out this study, the Ministry of Commerce decided to utilize the expertise of its own staff. The following officers volunteered to carryout this assignment in addition to their own duties, free of cost:-
1. Syed Irtiqa Ahmed Zaidi, National Consultant (UNDP-TIHP) Ministry of
Commerce, Islamabad.
2. Mr. Javaid Mansoor, Executive Secretary, National Trade & Transport
Facilitation Committee (NTTFC), Ministry of Commerce, Karachi.
1.4 All 9 international airports mentioned in the report were visited by the team comprising above officers and the issues discussed with the stakeholder. As the recommendations emerging from the report mainly concerned CAA, PIA and ACAAP the
Draft Report was forwarded to them for comments and discussed with the concerned officials. The additional information provided by the stakeholders has been incorporated in the Report.

2.1 Since 2001-02 the exports of Pakistan have been growing consistently at an average annual rate of 15.9%. During the same period the imports have increased at even faster rate of 28.9%. This has resulted in the trade deficit increasing to US$11.712 billion during 2005-06. To overcome this situation the government has adopted a trade policy to encourage growth in exports and curtail increase in imports.

2.3 Trade with Afghanistan and some trade with China, Iran and India is carried out by land routes, but the statistics for the volume of this trade are not readily available.
2.4 Air is the most expensive mode of transport and is used mainly for transport of gems, jewellery and other expensive articles to avoid blockage of capital over prolonged period, perishable commodities to avoid damage to cargo, and items with tight delivery schedules to meet the required delivery dates. The volume of trade by air during 2004-05 amounted to a little over 0.4% of the total trade measured by weight. The share in imports was less than 0.2%. But the share in exports was about 1.3%. Exact figures for the value of exports by air could not be obtained. However, on the basis of limited information, the share of exports by air in terms of value is estimated at over 8 % of the total export value.

2.5 The horticultural products, such as fruits, vegetables and flowers, are perishable commodities that have to be delivered to destination within a limited period and in controlled environment to ensure delivery in good condition without any damage. The floriculture has not yet advanced sufficiently for export to international market. The fruits and vegetables are being exported in substantial volumes. Besides the major commodities indicated in Table 2.5, Pakistan exported during 2004-05 about 66,000 tonnes of other fresh fruits and about 30,000 tonnes of various fresh vegetables

3.1 At present there are 42 civil airports in Pakistan. A few of these are nonoperational and some have very limited local passenger services. Many of these are also joint facilities for the civil as well as air force operations. The following are designated as the international airports:
Karachi
Lahore
Islamabad
Peshawar
Faisalabad
Multan
Quetta
Gwadar
Turbat
Pasni
3.2 Very limited services are operated from Turbat and Pasni. No international cargo is transported from these airports and the domestic cargo is negligible. Therefore these airports were not covered by this study. An international airport in the private sector is being developed by Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry. This facility was also surveyed during the study.
3.3 The total cargo transported from all the international airports of Pakistan is indicated in Table 3.1.

3.4 The wide bodied passenger aircrafts have spare capacity in the hold for carriage of cargo. These aircraft are, therefore, operated in passenger-cum-cargo mode and are the main carriers of cargo on scheduled services. To meet additional demand a few carriers like Lufthansa have introduced cargo services. Some other operators have also introduced chartered flights to meet seasonal demands for transport of cargo.
3.5 There are complaints from exporters and air cargo agents that many international airlines have withdrawn from calling Pakistani airports because of high landing charges of CAA for aircrafts and high fuel price in Pakistan, thereby reducing the availability of cargo space for transport of international cargo by air. However, no statistics were available to determine the cargo that could not be air freighted because of non-availability of cargo space. An evaluation of the landing charges and fuel prices payable in the airports of regional countries needs to be carried out and suitable measures adopted to attract foreign airlines to call at Pakistani airports.
3.6 Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar are the main airports for transport of cargo, both domestic and international. The major airlines and operators that have been operating from these airports and the cargo lifted by them is indicated in Table
3.2.

3.7 The other important factor affecting the transport of cargo by air is the availability of cargo handling facilities at the airports. At all the airports there are constraints of space for handling the cargo. PIA and Aero Asia handle their own cargo, while Air
Blue and foreign airlines make use of the services of the cargo handling agents like
SAPS and Gerry’s Dnata. Because of lack of integration of operations the available facilities are not efficiently utilized. All airports require modern cargo handling facilities extending over much larger area.
3.8 Security has become an important issue for international transport of cargo, especially by air. Unless the cargo is screened through a modern screening machine capable of detecting explosives the cargo has to be held back at the airport for 24 hours cooling period. This defeats the very objective of quick delivery through air shipment. Many of the cargo handling facilities at the airports lack suitable screening machines. Physical examination of cargo damages packaging, and also makes the cargo susceptible to pilferage affecting its acceptability by the importer.
3.9 Fruits and vegetables are an important export commodity of Pakistan. Because of their perishable nature a substantial quantity of fruits and vegetables meant for distant destinations is transported by air. The Table 3.3 shows the estimated quantity exported by air.

3.10 To maintain fruits and vegetables in good condition these must not be exposed to hot weather for prolonged period and stored in cool and dry environment,
14

preferably in a cold room cooled to the required temperature. The fruits and vegetables exporters complain that the airports do not have satisfactory cold storage arrangements and export consignments get damaged, especially when these are held back because of lack of space in the aircraft or missing a flight. The representatives of CAA and ACAAP have stated that where such facilities have been provided those are not being utilized. Therefore provision of such facilities needs to be decided after careful evaluation of actual requirements.
3.11 Lack of suitable lockers and strong rooms meeting the international aviation standards is an issue of particular concern to the gem and jewelry exporters. They also complain of lack of secure arrangements for carriage of such valuables in PIA aircraft, high freight charges and the necessity of carrying the items in person or on payment of air fare for the escort. Secure arrangements for transport of gems and jewelry, export of which is being promoted by the Government of Pakistan, need to be developed.
3.12 CAA does not levy any throughput charges for the exports. It levies throughput charges at the rate of 2% of IATA tariff for the air freight on the normal imports and
5% of IATA tariff on imports requiring immediate clearance. Actual freight paid on these consignments is usually much less than the IATA tariff and there are complaints from the air cargo agents on behalf of the importers that the charges levied by CAA are excessive. An adjudication mechanism needs to be put in place at each airport to quickly resolve these disputes.
3.13 Sialkot International Airport being developed by the private sector is expected to commence cargo operations by end 2006 or beginning of 2007. Sialkot Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (SCCI) claims that at present over 40 tonnes per day of commodities manufactured in Sialkot are being exported by air through various airports of Pakistan. After the Sialkot airport comes in operation they will be able to quadruple these exports within the projected 10 years. The success of Sialkot international Airport will depend very much on the ability of Sialkot Airport management to attract adequate cargo and passenger flights to various export destinations.

3.14 On the basis of projected growth of cargo traffic at various airports and new traffic that would be generated by increased exports from Sialkot airport it has been estimated that the domestic air cargo and imports of air cargo will grow annually at average rate of 8.5%, while the exports by air will grow at the rate of 10%. With this
15

projected growth the total air cargo will increase from about 330,000 tonnes in 2004-
05 to about 866,000 tonnes in 2015-16. Cargo handling facilities have therefore to be created to meet this volume of air cargo.
3.15 The above projections have not taken in consideration the sea-air multi-modal transport of cargo to Central Asian Republics using the ports in Pakistan as the interchange point. Pakistani ports could serve as a convenient interchange point provided an efficient logistics supply chain is developed, whereby the urgent delivery cargo arriving by sea or air could be transferred to the other mode of transport within hours with the minimum essential processing formalities. This would also require frequent air services to various destinations in CAR. At present Dubai is serving as a hub for such multi-modal transport, where transfer from sea to air takes place within hours.
3.16 An integrated computerized business process system is an essential requirement for efficient handling of air cargo. At present different agencies involved in the process i.e. Customs, CAA, airlines and cargo handling operators have their own IT systems without being interlinked to each other. PACCS introduced by
Pakistan Customs under Customs Administrative Reforms (CARE) program has not yet been extended to the airports. For the system to work efficiently as a Single
Window it is essential that the PACCS should be introduced at all international airports and IT systems of all agencies involved in air movement of cargo should be integrated with PACCS.

4.1 Most of the international as well as domestic cargo transported by air is handled at Karachi. During 2004-05 Karachi airport handled 179,856 tonnes of cargo including 126,682 tonnes of international cargo. The cargo transported through
Karachi airport has shown a continuous growth since 2001-02 at an average growth rate of 7.2%, although the cargo loaded for export during 2004-05 was a little less than 2003-04.

4.2 Assuming that the growth rate of last four years is maintained the cargo throughput of Karachi airport would increase to about 400,000 tonnes by 2015-16. A substantial part of the cargo loaded at Karachi airport for export originates from
Punjab. The actual cargo handled at the airport will depend on the growth in national
GDP, the cargo handling facilities developed at Karachi and other airports in Pakistan especially Lahore, Islamabad, Sialkot and Multan, and availability of airline services with adequate cargo carrying capacity for various export destinations.

4.3 The projections shown in the graph above do not include the transit trade by air to CAR for which much scope exists. Under the modern multi-modal transport concept it is common to combine sea and air transport to achieve quick delivery at reduced cost. Because of the land routes through Afghanistan to CAR being blocked,
Karachi is located in an ideal position for the cargo to CAR to be brought to Karachi by sea and then transited to final destination by air. However, such an operation requires a very efficient operation of the logistics, with the cargo arriving by sea moving to the airport after completion of all Customs formalities within a few hours for onward transit to final destination by air. Development of such a logistics chain could greatly increase the volume of cargo transported by air through Karachi.

4.4 In terms of value the major commodities exported by air through Karachi airport are: apparel, clothing and made ups; leather garments and articles thereof; textile and fiber, knitted and woven fabrics; carpets and other textile flooring; electrical machinery and equipment, gems and jewelry; pharmaceutical products; fish and crustaceans; fruits and vegetables; and fresh meat.

4.5 Maximum numbers of airlines on international routes from Pakistan operate from
Karachi. The cargo is mainly transported in a combined operation on wide bodied aircraft passenger flights, which have spare cargo carrying capacity. A few foreign airlines like Lufthansa and Emirates have also operated exclusive cargo flights.
Occasionally aircraft are also chartered by some operators for cargo operations only.
4.6 The statistics of cargo transported by various airlines show that nearly half of the cargo transported by air from Karachi airport is lifted by PIA. Other airlines lifting substantial volume of cargo are: Emirates Airline, Royal Airline, Saudi Arabian
Airline, Lufthansa Airline, Swiss Airline, Aero Asia, Thai Airways, Cathy Pacific
Airline, and Cargolux Airlines. Recently Air Blue and Etihad Airways have also started to lift reasonable volume of cargo.
4.7 PIA handles its own cargo, while most of the foreign airlines make use of the services of SAPS or Gerry’s Dnata. At present SAPS is handling the cargo of
Malaysian Airlines, Royal Airline, Singapore Airline, Cargolux Airline, Etihad Airline,
Iran Air and Lufthansa Airlines. Gerry’s Dnata is handling Emirate Airlines, Turkish
Airlines, Air Lanka, Express Service and Air Blue.
4.8 The cargo handling facilities are scattered at different locations over various terminals and the cargo complex constructed by the Civil Aviation Authority in 2003.
Imports by PIA are handled at Terminal 1. Imports by foreign carriers are handled by
SAPS and Gerry’s Dnata at the Terminal 2 Air Freight Unit. The imports requiring immediate clearance like blood plasma, medicines, perishables, precious metals, courier services etc. are handled at Terminal 3. The cargo complex handles the cargo exported through foreign airlines. PIA has its own facility for export cargo next to the cargo complex. The domestic cargo is handled by PIA at yet another place
18

next to Terminal 1. DHL and TCS are developing their own handling area for the express services at another place on the road leading to the cargo complex. There is no proper arrangement for separate storage of dangerous goods. The facilities scattered over different areas create considerable difficulties for the cargo clearing service providers as adequate basic facilities like canteen and wash rooms are not available at all places.

4.9 Present availability of space for cargo handling facilities and its adequacy for meeting the future requirement as indicated by CAA, PIA and other cargo handling service providers is shown in Table 4.4.
4.10 The Cargo Complex constructed recently by CAA for export cargo has a modern office block for administration and air cargo agents’ offices. There is adequate parking arrangement for trucks and other facilities for truck drivers. However, the examination area, where the cargo is received, does not have adequate covered area. The cargo lying there is exposed to sun and rain and frequently gets damaged.
There are also complaints of lack of cool hall for perishable cargo. It is stated that the cargo handed over to the airlines is left in the open for the cooling period of 24 hours.
19

During this period it frequently gets damaged or pilfered. Pye-dogs damaging the cargo were also mentioned by the exporters.
4.11 In the case of perishable commodities, missing a flight because of some reason, their condition deteriorates because of non-availability of suitable cooling arrangement. There are also complaints of inadequate scanning facilities, which result in delay in processing, need for the cargo being detained for 24 hours cooling period, and damage to packing and contents because of their physical examination.

4.12 A sketch showing the layout of the CAA cargo sheds for exports in the cargo complex is produced on the next page. To reduce pilferage and provide security closed circuit TV cameras need to be installed in the entire area. Modern scanning machines of adequate capacity are also required to minimize manual examination and holding back the cargo for 24 hours cooling period.

4.13 To reduce the complaints of pilferage CAA intends to arrange for the covered shed and grills (indicated in the sketch as backyard grills) to be erected behind the warehouses allocated to various airlines. The shed in examination area also needs to be extended in width to reduce the complaints of lack of covered area. However, this can be considered only as a temporary arrangement to meet the present requirements and will not be adequate for handling the projected growth in cargo traffic.
4.14 For efficiently handling the growing traffic projected for the next ten years there is an urgent need to develop an integrated cargo handling facility in the form of a cargo village in which all the international, domestic and transit cargo may be handled efficiently under a single window operating system. This cargo village should have adequate modern warehouses; cold storages; offices and amenities for
Customs, airlines, banks, cargo handlers, freight forwarders, air cargo agents, transporters, and other service providers; and parking area for trailers, trucks, cars and other vehicles. Necessary space is available at present between Jinnah Avenue and the airport boundary from Terminal 1 to the road leading to Jinnah International
Airport. CAA has a plan for development of the cargo village in private sector. This needs to be expedited.
4.15 To overcome the difficulties experienced by PIA, because of its cargo operations being scattered at different locations, it has already prepared a plan for integrating all its cargo operations at one location. Sketch showing the proposed plan of PIA is produced below. Execution of the plan has already been delayed for over a decade. It is feared that because of the financial constraints execution of the plan might be delayed. Necessary funds need to be allocated to ensure that the proposed plan gets executed at the earliest.
4.16 However, increasing the capacity of physical infrastructure only will not be sufficient for increasing the throughput of cargo moving through the airport. To match it there has to be adequate cargo carrying capacity on the aircrafts of the airlines calling at the airport. Suitable measures will have to be introduced to attract more foreign airlines to call at Karachi.

5.1 The next airport in terms of the volume of cargo handled by air is the Lahore airport. During 2004-05 it handled 85,552 tonnes of total cargo, of which 52,728 tonnes was the international cargo. The exports amounted to 36,942 tonnes. Since
2001-02 the cargo handled at Lahore airport has shown a steady growth at the average annual rate of about 11 %. The international cargo has grown at the rate of about 10%, while the domestic cargo has increased at the rate of about 12%.

5.2 Assuming that the growth rate of last four years is maintained the cargo throughput of Lahore airport would increase from 85,544 tonnes in 2004-05 to about
268,000 tonnes by 2015-16. With commissioning of Sialkot International Airport the air cargo originating from Sialkot will no longer move from Lahore. However, area around Lahore is developing as an industrial hub and is also surrounded by fertile agricultural land. It is expected that the growth of various industries, especially ready made garments industry, and horticultural produce will adequately compensate it.
Availability of airline services with adequate cargo carrying capacity for various export destinations would be a pre-requisite.

5.6 The newly constructed Allama Iqbal International Airport passenger terminal started operation in March 2005. However no provision was made for construction of a cargo terminal and the cargo is being handled through a temporary facility. This temporary facility lacks in many respects and there are complaints from exporters, air cargo agents, and Customs officials regarding the difficulties in working through these temporary facilities. The premises provided to the Customs officials are hazardous and most uncomfortable. A fire has already taken place there and records burnt.
5.7 Realizing this situation CAA has started work on construction of a cargo complex.
The cargo warehouse of Gerry’s Dnata has been completed and is operational. The cargo warehouses of SAPS and PIA are expected to be ready by August and
December 2006, respectively. However, the work on Customs block has not yet commenced and could take another 2 years for completion. In the meanwhile the
Customs offices will have to be shifted to some other suitable place. Necessary arrangements need to be made immediately.
5.8 All the warehouses being developed by PIA, SAPS and Gerry’s Dnata need to be provided with video camera security arrangements, modern screening machines, temperature controlled cold rooms and strong rooms with lockers. Size of the new warehouses appears to be adequate to meet the anticipated requirements of next 10 years. However the available free land needs to be reserved for the future expansion requirements. Banking facilities, offices for air cargo agents, rest rooms for drivers, parking area for container trailers and other necessary amenities need to be provided.
5.9 The information provided by the cargo handling service providers is given in
Table 5.5. However, it is to be noted that PIA and Gerry’s Dnata have provided information regarding their existing operational facilities, while SAPS has provided information in respect of the new facility which is expected to become operational by end August 2006. The area allocated to various cargo handling service providers is shown in the sketch of the Cargo Complex produced on the next page.

6.5 PIA, SAPS and Gerry’s Dnata are the main cargo handling service providers at
Islamabad airport. PIA handles its own cargo and also provides services to the
Chinese and Afghan airlines. SAPS serves British Airways, Qatar Airways, Saudi
Arabian Airline, Emirates Airlines, Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways, Lufthansa, Shaheen
Airlines and Air Blue. Availability of space for cargo handling facilities is very restricted and possibility of expansion limited because of the area being bound by the
Chaklala Road leading to the airport and the airport apron. Brief statement of the available space and the requirement for efficiently handling the cargo indicated by the service providers is produced in Table 6.4.

6.6 SAPS and Gerry’s Dnata have adequate area to meet present requirements of traffic handled by them. They will need more space to efficiently handle the anticipated increased volume of traffic. However, the requirements indicated by them need careful reassessment. Because of the restrictions imposed by the built up area around these facilities the increased cargo handling facilities will have to be allocated at the new Islamabad Airport.
6.7 PIA handles more than 50% of the cargo. The space available to it for handling this cargo is not adequate. Proper segregation of different categories of cargoes cannot be maintained. Weighbridge and modern scanning machine are lacking. The grill and dangerous cargo rooms are cramped. Livestock is air freighted from here,
31

but there is no arrangement for their handling. Even the basic facilities like wash rooms for the Customs officials and others working at the premises are lacking.
There is no parking space for the trailers bringing the containers loaded with cargo.
To enable flow of traffic during the day their movement has to be restricted to night, and their parking on the road blocks the traffic. Security of the premises is inadequate.

6.8 As construction of the new airport will take a few years there is an urgent need for making some additional area of the airport available for this facility, rearranging the layout scientifically for proper segregation and smooth flow of cargo, and providing modern equipment like weighbridge, scanner, close circuit TV surveillance, fire fighting equipment etc.
6.9 The new Islamabad International Airport is planned at Fateh Jung. 3,200 acres land has been acquired. The project management consultant was appointed in
January 2006 and mobilized in February 2006. Draft Master Plan for the airport is already in place. Completion on Phase I is planned for 2010. On completion of Phase
I the airport will have capacity for 6.5 million passengers per annum and a dedicated cargo handling facility for initial capacity of 100,000 tonnes per annum with provision for future expansion. Multi-modal transport access arrangements are planned through 3 lane dual carriageway road and shuttle train service. Agreements have been executed with a number of international carriers to operate services from the
Islamabad International Airport.
6.10 Before finalizing the Master Plan all the stakeholders need to be consulted to ensure that the cargo handling facilities are in keeping with the requirements of the trade, modern practices and regulatory requirements.

7.1 Peshawar airport also handles substantial volume of cargo by air. During 2004-
05 it handled 11,675 tonnes of cargo, which included 8,851 tonnes of international cargo. While the volume of domestic cargo has remained around 3,000 tonnes, there has been a consistent growth since 2000-01 in the volume of international cargo at an average annual rate of about 19 % resulting in total cargo growth rate of about 12
%.

7.2 Assuming that the growth rate of last five years is maintained the cargo throughput of Peshawar airport would increase from 11,675 tonnes in 2004-05 to about 33,000 tonnes by 2015-16. The projected air cargo traffic for Peshawar airport is shown in Figure 7.1. It may be noted that Peshawar is very well located for airfreight of domestic as well as foreign cargo to CAR under multi-modal transport system. This opportunity needs to be exploited.

7.3 No statistical data regarding the commodity exports from Peshawar airport could be made available by PRAL. Various sources indicated that the main exports from
Peshawar airport comprised fresh fruit and vegetables, animal casings, meat, livestock, dairy products, honey, tobacco, carpets and precious and semi-precious stones. Pharmaceuticals, surgical instruments, sports goods and leather garments originating from Rawalpindi-Sialkot area were also exported through Peshawar airport. The imports were mainly unaccompanied personal baggage and medicines.
7.4 PIA, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Gulf Air, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Aero Asia are the main transporters of cargo in combination with their passenger services. Air Blue
34

has started to lift cargo on introduction of its service in 2005. Recently Etihad has also started its service and started to lift cargo. In the past PIA has been carrying over 50% of cargo. However, with introduction of services by other airlines its share has been declining.

7.5 PIA and Aero Asia handle their own cargo, while the other airlines make use of the services of SAPS. The area available to PIA for its cargo terminal is restricted to about 20,000 ft
2
, which is absolutely inadequate for carrying out the operations efficiently. Covered areas are not adequate for storing the goods and getting them processed through necessary operations and examined by Customs. All the work has to be carried out by PIA and Customs staff in most uncomfortable environment lacking the basic facilities. There is no weighbridge for weighing of cargo or the scanner for security and Customs examination. Access to the terminal is through the passenger car parking area which makes it very difficult for the trucks and trailers to access the cargo terminal that has no parking space for these heavy vehicles.
7.6 Compared to that SAPS cargo terminal is spread over a much larger area of over
75,000 ft
2
. It has separate warehouses for the export and import cargo and open space for the trucks and trailers. The terminal is also equipped with weighbridge, modern scanner and other security features. Well equipped office space for the
35

SAPS, Customs and airlines staff is also available. It also has direct access for trucks and trailers. The terminal is at present being utilized at about 50% capacity.
7.7 To relieve the problems being faced at PIA cargo terminal it would be advisable to work out an arrangement whereby the under-utilized facilities of SAPS are also used by PIA under a mutually agreed arrangement till a new cargo terminal for use of
PIA is built. It appears that some overtures in this direction had been made, but because of the business rivalry of the two organizations an acceptable agreement could not be reached.
7.8 A much larger cargo terminal with all modern facilities; including cold storage for perishable commodities, strong room with lockers for precious commodities and separated shed for livestock; needs to be developed for PIA operations. At present this has been obstructed because a substantial part of land allocated to CAA has been occupied by ASF. The Airport Manager, Peshawar has put up a proposal for expansion of the airport terminal by relocating ASF to PAF land and the present car park to army open land in the vicinity. It has been indicated that the proposal is being discussed by CAA with the concerned PAF and Army officials and plans for expansion and Upgradation of the airport involving building of a new terminal and dedicated cargo facilities have been prepared. Considering that all the organizations involved to enable execution of the plan are under the administrative control of the
Ministry of Defence it should not be too difficult to get the proposal finalized and executed. It would greatly relieve the problems being faced at Peshawar airport.

8.1 Sialkot is a fast growing industrial city of Punjab. It specializes in production of export oriented high value goods like surgical instruments, sports goods and leather garments. The industry is lead by a dynamic Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which has developed a self financing and self-help culture. To develop the city the industrialists initially contributed
0.5% of their income towards the Development Fund. This contribution has now been reduced to 0.25%. City hospital, college and school have been built out of this fund.
8.2 To enable expeditious transport of goods for export to sea and air ports Sialkot Dry Port has been established in the private sector by taking land on lease from Pakistan Railways.
The dry port owns a fleet of 100 flat-bed trucks for transport of the containers. Over 40 tons per day of Sialkot products are shipped abroad by air. The airports of Karachi, Lahore,
Islamabad and Peshawar are used for these shipments. By arranging shipments through distant airports the exporters cannot exercise satisfactory control over it. Furthermore, damages and pilferages affect reputation of the exporters.
8.3 To overcome this situation SCCI decided to establish an airport at Sialkot. A private limited company by the name of Sialkot International Airport (Pvt) Ltd. was established and a
Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the Government of Pakistan and SIAL, whereby 1,036 acres land for the airport was made available by the Government of Punjab and other government organizations like Customs, CAA, ASF and Pakistan Meteorological
Department (PMD) agreed to provide the necessary services for operation of the airport.
8.4 Any industrialist from Sialkot contributing Rs 5,000,000 towards the equity of SIAL is entitled to become a member of the Board of Directors. At present there are 227 directors who have contributed this amount.
8.5 Work on construction of the airport started in January 2003. The runway capable of landing the larges aircraft has already been built. Building of the control tower, necessary offices and two cargo warehouses of 1,000 m
2
each are nearing completion. Essential equipment for operation of the airport and handling of cargo has been imported. It is intended to commence the operation for cargo transport and subsequently develop it for passenger transport. It is intended to operate the first flight in December 2006 or early 2007.
8.6 The airport is well laid out and there is provision for construction of 20 cargo warehouses of 1,000 m
2
capacity. PIA, SAPS, DHL have already shown interest in establishing their warehouses. SIAL is negotiating with various airlines to operate their services for Sialkot airport. Success of the airport will depend on attracting sufficient number of airline services to make the operation viable. The management of SIAL is very optimistic. SCCI is of the opinion that operation of the airport at Sialkot would enable them to enhance their exports and the volume of air cargo will increase three to four folds of the present level.

9.1 At present Multan airport is handling a limited volume of cargo, most of which is domestic. Total cargo handled during 2004-05 was 1,623 tonnes. Out of this the international cargo was limited to only 212 tonnes.

9.2 During the period 2000-05 the cargo movement from Multan airport has not shown any consistent growth pattern. Therefore, the past data could not be used for making growth projections. However, Multan is surrounded by large agricultural area.
Kucchi Canal being developed at present will further increase this agricultural producing belt. Mango is the main produce of this area. At present it is transported to
Karachi and Lahore by land for onward transport to distant destinations by air. Direct shipment by air from Multan has not been possible because the runway length does not allow landing of wide bodied aircrafts. The smaller aircrafts landing at Multan airport do not have the capacity for carriage of cargo.
9.3 A decision has already been taken to extend the runway and build a new terminal with cargo handling facilities. PCI has been approved. CAA is at present in the process of selecting a consultant for planning and designing a new terminal building with other allied facilities including a cargo terminal of international standard. The project is estimated to cost about US$ 50 million and completed in 2009.

9.4 Once the new facilities are established the airlines will have to be persuaded to operate the services with wide bodied aircrafts. On the assumption that with availability of new facilities the wide bodied aircrafts will start calling at Multan airport the growth of international cargo has been projected at 20% during 2005-06, gradually declining to 10% by 2015-16 and thereafter maintaining this growth rate.
For the domestic cargo the average growth rate of 3.2% for the past five years has
40

been used for future projections. On these assumptions the cargo handled at Multan airport will increase from 1,623 tonnes in 2004-05 to about 22,000 tonnes in 2015-16.
9.5 Only partial data of exports for the months of April, May and June 2006 could be made available by PRAL. This shows apparel, clothing, made ups, footwear and food items as the main exports from Multan. The market sources indicated textile made ups, embroidered clothing, leather garments, shoes and sheep casings to be the major exports from Multan. There was much scope for export of fruits and vegetables, especially mangoes. But because of lack of cold storage facilities and wide bodied aircraft to lift the cargo this potential was not being exploited. Pakistan
Horticulture Development and Export Board (PHDEB) has planned an Agro
Processing Zone in Multan. It is likely to be located in Phase II of the Industrial Estate not too far from the airport. The proposed facilities will include post-harvest treatment, cold storage and processing.

9.6 Only PIA and Aero Asia have been operating from Multan airport. Recently Aero
Asia has also suspended its service. Inducing more airlines to operate their services from Multan will be critical for increasing the export of cargo by air from Multan.
Multan airport at present has about 5,000 ft
2
of open plinth area and about 4,000 ft
2 of covered area for handling cargo. In case of the projected growth in cargo traffic being achieved the cargo handling facilities would need to be enhanced to meet the requirements.

10.1 Faisalabad airport handles limited volume of cargo. During 2004-05 only 1,223 tonnes of total cargo was handled at Faisalabad. For the period 2001-05 the domestic cargo has varied between 1,070 and 1,226 tonnes. The cargo carrying capacity of the passenger aircrafts operating on this route has been the limiting factor. The international cargo has been negligible.

10.2 With the development of motorways to Lahore and Islamabad the airports in these cities with international flights are now within easy access involving a few hours drive. Another airport at Sialkot is being developed and this will also be easily accessible to the exporters from Faisalabad. Therefore Faisalabad offers little potential for handling international cargo. For the domestic cargo over the period
2001-05 there has been an average annual growth of 3.1%. This growth rate has been applied for the projections of domestic cargo. On this assumption the cargo handled at Faisalabad airport will increase from 1,223 tonnes in 2004-05 to about
1,700 tonnes in 2015-16.

10.4 The main carriers from Faisalabad airport have been PIA and Aero Asia.
Recently Air Blue has also introduced a daily domestic service. The main complaint of the airlines is that the cargo sheds are placed far away from the apron and these create difficulty in handling the cargo. The cargo sheds need to be shifted close to the apron.

11.2 Main produce of Quetta region is fruit and seasonal vegetables mainly harvested in the summer months of June, July and August. No statistics of the exports from Quetta were available. The market sources indicated that grapes are exported to Bangladesh. Till a few years back these were exported by air. But, with introduction of refrigerated containers and good road connection to Karachi, the grapes are now exported to Bangladesh by sea in refrigerated containers on the basis of door to door service. The production of fruit and vegetables is very much dependent on the weather. Drought of a few years back greatly damaged the orchards, adversely affecting their output.
11.3 As the fruit processing facilities are not yet available in the growing areas, the fruits and vegetables are transported by road to the markets in Karachi and Lahore.
To attract air freight PIA offers special concessionary rates for air freight of cargo to
Karachi, Lahore and Dubai. The domestic cargo is also picked up and delivered at
PIA terminal in town. Some times fruit and vegetables are air freighted to Karachi for processing and export by air. The study team witnessed a consignment of coriander
( dhanya ) being air freighted to Karachi by PIA.
11.4 Besides the horticultural products, occasionally machinery items are exported and imported to meet immediate repairs and replacement requirements of some plants.

11.5 The average annual growth rate during the period 2001-05 for the total international cargo was 12.8% and for the domestic cargo 4.9%. Future projections have been worked out using the same growth rates. On these assumptions the total air cargo handled at Quetta airport will increase from 1,515 tonnes in 2004-05 to about 2,700 tonnes in 2015-16.
11.6 PIA has been the consistent service provider at Quetta airport. A number of other airlines have also been providing occasional service. Recently Air Blue has started a daily service between Quetta and Karachi and Shaheen Airline twice a week service to Lahore.

11.7 The exports and imports have to be cleared at the airport because of the
Customs requirements. Quetta airport has a 15*25 ft warehouse for import consignments and a 12*12 ft warehouse for export consignments. A 21*18 ft cool room fitted with 2 air conditioners has also been built at the demand of exporters, but it has not been used. The traders complain that the bank and quarantine facilities are not available at the airport and much time is wasted in going to town for these. They also complain that in case of a flight getting delayed the cargo is left in the open and it gets damaged. Suitable sheds may be provided to avoid damage to cargo. The scanner installed at the airport is very old of 8 kg capacity. A modern scanner of larger capacity is needed to avoid damage to cargo by opening it for inspection. The weighing machine is also of very small capacity. A larger capacity weighing machine is required.

12.1 Gwadar has a small airport with short runway, which restricts it use to small aircraft. PIA has been operating its service to Gwadar with Fokker aircraft. Because of limited cargo carrying capacity of these aircraft very little cargo is handled at
Gwadar airport. Over the last five years the total cargo handled annually has been around 80 tonnes. The unloaded cargo on international and domestic services is mainly unaccompanied baggage. The loaded cargo is mainly fish sent by local influential persons to their friends as gift.

12.2 After recent grounding of Fokker aircrafts PIA is now operating the service with the recently acquired ATR 42-500 aircrafts. Air Blue has also started a service from
Karachi to Gwadar with 17 seats Beachcraft 1900. These aircraft do not have the capacity for carrying cargo. Moreover with development of Coastal Highway, which enables transport from Karachi to Gwadar within 8 to 10 hours, at present there is not much demand for carriage of air cargo.
12.3 With development of Gwadar port, Gwadar is being transformed from a fishing village to an industrial and commercial centre for transport of cargo to CAR. First phase of Gwadar port is nearing completion. GDA has prepared a Master Plan for development of Gwadar and efforts are being made to develop necessary infrastructure for the entrepreneurs to be attracted to invest in establishing industries and other commercial enterprises. 6,000 acres area has also been earmarked for establishment of a new international airport. CAA is already in the process of acquiring the land and working out a plan for development of this airport.
12.4 To provide land connectivity to CAR through shorter routes a highway from
Gwadar to Chaman is being developed through Turbat, Hoshab, Panjgur, Naag,
Basima and Sorab. To provide access to Torkham through Indus Highway another road link is planned from Turbat to Hoshab, Awran, Khuzdar and Ratodero.
12.5 Electric supply has been arranged from Iran Work is in hand for supply of gas, and arrangements are being made for installation of a 2 million gallons per day capacity desalination plant for ensuring water supply. All these are the basic requirements for the industrial activity to take off. At present the smuggled diesel and petrol is freely available at relatively cheaper price of Rs. 15 to 25 per litre.
12.6 The main business activity that is taking place at present is the sale and purchase of land by the so called ‘land mafia’. This is escalating the price of land to uneconomic levels. Measures need to be adopted to make sure that the land is allotted to only those who have a genuine requirement for establishing an industry or
46

some other commercial enterprise; and in case of the indicated enterprise not being established within a specified period the allotment may be cancelled.
12.7 Another major hindrance in starting industrial and commercial activity is the nonavailability of local skilled personnel. There is an urgent need for establishing a polytechnic institute in Gwadar to develop skills in basic trades like electrician, mason, plumber, carpenter, mechanic etc. so that the workers may become available for constructing the industrial establishments.
12.8 Moreover, the area adjacent to the port reserved for industries needs to be declared as a Free Trade Zone, free from duties and local taxes, like Jabal Ali in
Dubai to attract investment.
12.9 Once the industry starts to take off the time will be ripe for the new airport to come in operation. The new airport should be planned with adequate provision for modern cargo handling facilities so that it may be used for trade with CAR by air.

13.1 Efficient handling of cargo requires expeditions completion of all the business processes involved in getting the cargo on board the aircraft after its arrival at the airport for the export cargo and clearance of cargo from the airport after its unloading from the aircraft for the import cargo. Nearly 98% of all air cargo is handled at
Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar airports. An effort was made to make an assessment of the time involved in completion of export and import business processes at these airports. Unfortunately no records are maintained for completion of business processes. Therefore, reliance had to be made on the empirical information received from the concerned agencies. And even that information was not complete in many respects and varied from agency to agency. On the basis of whatever information became available the charts produced below have been prepared for the export and import business processes.

13.2 The organizations working at the airports like CAA, Customs, airlines and the ground handling agents have their own computerized system, but these are not interlinked with each other. To simplify and expedite the cargo handling operations at the airports it is imported that IT systems of all the agencies working at the airports are integrated in to a single window operation. PACCS of Customs developed under
CARE programme offers an excellent opportunity for achieving this objective.
PACCS needs to be extended to all the airports by Pakistan Customs at the earliest and arrangements made for the IT systems of all the other organizations to be integrated with it.
52

General
1. PACCS may be introduced by Pakistan Customs at all airports and IT systems of
CAA, airlines, air cargo agents and cargo handling agents may be integrated with it to function as a Single Window.
2. Aircraft landing charges and fuel prices charged at Pakistani airports may be compared with the regional airports and rationalized to make them comparable with the charges at the regional airports.
3. CAA may establish suitable adjudication mechanism at each airport for quick resolution of disputes relating to throughput charges.
4. Modern scanners of adequate capacity for the cargo load may be installed at all airports for screening of cargo.
5. All stakeholders should be consulted during the planning stages of new airports at Islamabad and Gwadar and new terminal facilities at other ports to ensure that the cargo handling facilities are adequate and in keeping with the latest cargo handling practices and regulatory requirements.
6. PIA may introduce appropriate security arrangements in its aircraft for transport of gems and jewelry at a reasonable cost.
7. The procedures of all organizations involved in transport supply chain may be streamlined to facilitate development of sea-air-road multi-modal transport logistics.
Karachi Airport
8. To eliminate damage and pilferage of cargo the backyard area of airlines warehouses in CAA Cargo Complex AFU may be covered with sheds and caged.
The sheds in examination area of AFU also need to be extended on both sides to cover the open area between the shed and the airline warehouses and the open space for receiving the cargo. Security against pilferage may be strengthened. A modern scanner of adequate capacity may be installed.
9. PIA Cargo Complex may be expanded to integrate all export, import and domestic cargo operations at one place. Necessary funding arrangement for early execution of this expansion may be made. There should be suitable provision for temperature controlled cool rooms for perishable commodities, chiller room for medicines, strong room with lockers for valuables, modern scanners and closed circuit TV monitoring.
10. The scattered cargo handling facilities at Karachi Airport may be integrated by developing a Cargo Village with modern warehousing and cold storage, and all other modern equipment required in such a facility. Necessary offices, other amenities and parking spaces may also be provided.
53

Lahore Airport
11. Construction of a permanent Customs block at the Cargo Complex of Allama
