ISLAMABAD: A parliamentary panel on Wednesday expressed grave concern over the non-implementation of a National Assembly resolution passed on October 13, 2022, calling for renaming “Islamabad International Airport” to “Shaheed Benazir Bhutto International Airport.”

Despite the resolution being passed nearly two years ago, no action has been taken to fulfil this directive, prompting widespread criticism from various quarters.

The 4th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aviation was held under the chairmanship of Nawabzada Iftikhar Ahmed Khan Babar, MNA, here on Wednesday.

The ministry confirmed that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has not undergone a formal audit for the past decade, raising concerns about its regulatory compliance and safety

oversight.

During this period, four aircraft accidents occurred, highlighting the need for improved operational protocols. The Standing Committee has called for the provision of all communications between CAA and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to the Committee regarding the lack of audits and their impact on safety.

It will be extreme injustice if it named on Benazir Bhutto. Public demand is to name it in on of Mohsin-i-Pakistan Dr, A Qadeer Khan. He has devoted his life and Sacrificed everything for Pakistan.

New airport should only be named Islamabad airport, no need to give it cringey names or at most quaid-e-azam airport. Airport in most of the world are named after the city or town.

Islamabad International is easy and common name. So we must avoid controversial names.
