Under the new system, all payments at Islamabad Airport including airline tickets, car parking, food outlets, retail shops, and duty-free stores can now be made through digital wallets, QR codes, mobile banking, and debit or credit cards. Airport authorities say the move is designed to improve efficiency, transparency, and convenience for passengers.

The announcement comes shortly after the federal government included Islamabad Airport in its active privatization program last month.

Chief Operating Officer and Airport Manager Aftab Gilani said a modern mobile application has also been launched to allow passengers to track lost luggage from anywhere in the world.

He added that the combination of the digital payment system and baggage tracking will not only make travel smoother but also enhance the airport’s international reputation and ranking.

Senior Joint Director Commercial Malik Amjad described the initiative as a significant milestone in modernizing airport services and improving the passenger experience.

Earlier this year, the federal government confirmed that Islamabad Airport had been included in its active privatization program, following similar plans for Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport and Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport.
