The existing Runway pavement sections / thickness for Boeing 747-400 and Airbus operations are considered structurally inadequate and need further investigation and strengthening with an adequate overlay. The Department of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan has desired to upgrade the existing Runway and Apron for his highness’ visit to Rahim Yar Khan. With this in view a reconsideration of existing runway, taxiway and apron pavements have been made and appropriate provisions have been proposed for consideration and provision of operational facilities for operating B-747-400 Domestic Aircraft.
