How Will International Flights from Sukkur Airport Benefit Pakistanis?
✈️ 1. Easier & More Convenient International Travel
Currently, travelers from Sukkur, Larkana, Nawabshah, Jacobabad, Dadu, Khairpur, Multan, and nearby regions must travel long distances to Karachi or Lahore to catch international flights. The launch of direct international flights from Sukkur will:

✅ Enhance accessibility – Elderly travelers, women, and families will benefit from closer international flight options.
This development will be especially beneficial for overseas Pakistanis working in Gulf countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, allowing them to fly directly from their hometown without unnecessary stops.
2. Economic Growth & Business Expansion
A fully operational international airport in Sukkur will encourage business investments and economic growth in the region.
