Dear all members,
Mujhey koi solid reason batao, why our Hyderabad Airport is closed and stand in non-working condition.
Airport tuo City ki pehchaan hai. City ki value barh jaati hai phir kyu Hamarey Hyderabad ko iss tarah peechaey ker diya gaya hai.
Mujhey aap sub ka response required hai .
Hyderabad aur Interior sindh ki public ko kaafi travel kerna perta hai for domestic and international travels.
For example If i had a flight to Dubai/Islamabad at 12:15pm in the afternoon i had to make schedule like this;
From Hyd Home to Karachi Airport: 07:45 (Taking almost 2.5 Hours)
10:15 ko airport per must hona hai for BOARDING then stay in Airport Lounge till Flight Timing :-( In general i lost 5 hours in total to travel hyd to khi just because of AIRPORT.
Why our City Government don't think about Reopening Hyderabad Airport.
Every Hyderabad and Interior Sindh Passenger can save 5 hours in total in both Domestic & International Flights.
THINK ABOUT IT!

yeh, u absolutely right, but u did not describe the reasons, why the hyderabad airport was closed few years back... what i remember the reason was, it was totally in loss, there were only 2 filghts in a week on monday and wednesday i think, (wo b foker plane ki ...)
and there were only 8/10 pessengers...
this is because that time majority of hyderabadians cant afford the rates of flights, and prefer other traveling ways...
so this was the total loss activity, thats why this happend..
well, u right, airport makes a city valuable..

I knew the above Reason though but it was in PAST that our City Economy could not handle such large Expenses.
Now In 2006-2007 Hyderabad City is moving towards Development, New Road Constructed, More International and Natianol Companies setup their business in Hyderabad and the Properties/Real Estate of Hyderabad City Rates going up day by day. If you don't agree ask any REAL ESTATE agent about it.
I think now Our City Government must take some serious actions top Reopen Airport so we can save our time.
And i do agree that people also couldn't afford that fare ratesin the past as well. But now People have money and they can afford airfares for travelling rather than spending on expensive mobiles. :-) Edited by Furqan Durvesh - 09/June/07 at 10:59 |

Well, according to past history of Hyderabad that we had an airport why we ain't have now? All statements which has been given by the users and ppl of Hyderabad site were absolutely rite that there were only two flights which were imposed for using twice days in once in a week but no has given solid reason that why it is closed and finished. I don't know about others but according to me the people who were living in that time when Hyderabad had an airport they were not financially strong that's why they were not suppose to move through flights towards far places but the people who were been appointed (Airport Administration) over there to look and check each and every thing regarding to the flights and tickets, At that time they must; 1. they must decreases the rates/fares of tickets
2 .they must kept once Flight per day might be through that it would not be closed or finished and the passengers were not be countable seems uncountable
4. they must be in large numbers.
That all things are ought to, to them.
Still we are having time to rebuild an airport we must appeal to government for rebuilding an airport 'cuz Hyderabad has almost all things but it did not reach a good standard to meet along with good status.

I am sure majority of people in Pakistan are not aware that Our Hyderabad Sindh got the prestige to have first AIR UNIVERSITY of ASIA run by civil aviation of Pakistan and people from all over the world come to our beloved city to learn. And yet our airport is shut down. Does it make any sense to any one???? No. Hyderabad has a huge need and demand for air traffic as hundreds of citizens of Hyderabad fly daily domestic and international but they have to go all the way to Karachi and it is very very problematic when you have to be at Karachi airport 3 to 4 hours earlier then the travel time between Karachi and Hyderabad and one hour travel in Karachi and if you are stuck in traffic then there is always a danger of missing flight. then there are security concerns as most flights arrive late night or arrive early in the morning. I can give you my personal experience that every time i visit my city Hyderabad Sindh all the way from Toronto Canada it just kills me and how I have done my research that citizens of Hyderabad and people from all over Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Colombo, Beijing, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, London, Zurich, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Toronto
Those who have traveled through Hyderabad Airport in the past still remember falling in love with our Airport as its unique beautiful design at that time though it had a small terminal. This airport must have 2 terminals one for domestic and one for international. As i said earlier Hyderabad is the nerve centre of Sindh so all the flights for sindh and Pakistan should connect here. And for international immediately the destinations i mentioned should be started by PIA and other international airlines should also be invited. Gulf Air, Etihaad, Emirates, and Qatar Airways have already shown interest to expand in Pakistan. This airport should be designed on most modern airlines but its design must be appropriate to SINDHI Culture and Design as our city is a cultural capital of sindh and one of the ancient Now reasons why it is shut down: 1. Hyderabad always victimized by all governments and have been victim of conspiracy theory.
2.PIA used false excuse under pressure that there is not enough business which is just a lie, while PIA is running empty flights to Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Quetta, Faisalabad under pressure of politicians.
3.CAA (Civil Aviation) and Miltary considers Hyderabad a security risk to have a major International Airport being Hyderabad the most sensitive city of Pakistan. First of all CAA has to wake up as the ONLY AIR UNIVERSITY is functioning successfully since late 70's. There has been not a single incident of any kind related to National Security. Secondly If we are thinking of a threat then it should be Sialkot which just sits next to INDIA but Government of Pakistan and CAA are building International Airport in Sialkot very quietly.
4. I understand that Hyderabad has seen a very bloody past and gone through a civil war and still divided on ethnic lines literally and technically but so is city of Beruit in Lebanon but then it does not disqualify the city to have a major international airport. Beruit does have a very busy and major international airport.
5. As we are all aware that Hyderabad sits on a Earthquake Fault line and it immediately needs a major international airport in case God forbid something big hits our city. Hyderabad has the same situation like San Francisco and first thing they did was to build a big international airport. When San Francisco was hit by a major earthquake airport was the best place for relief work and rehabilitation work.
6.There was a discussion to change location of Hyderabad Airport from the present one that is possible if it helps to build the new international airport for Hyderabad.
7. There is a huge concern regarding the road which connects with Current airport and has been identified as security risk and not safe for travelers. Then Hyderabad Government can come up with the idea of building an elevated express way and a fast rail link from current Hyderabad airport to city, Qasimabad and Latifabad. I have tried my best to educate and make aware my fellow citizens about the reasons for shutting down our airport. Hyderabad the Cultural and commercial capital of Sindh and a major transportation hub in Pakistan cannot be neglected and ignored any more on any kind of false excuses. Hyderabad Sindh will not take any more hate and biases from any one any more. Yours in solidarity, |

thats a nice topic by furqan shab he write the same becouse he use to travel International, well as i understand the goverment dont want that hyderabad people can travel from Hyd Airport , becouse if they open then you will not use train mainly becouse from hyderabad the train ticket is arround 1800 to 2400 of AC Paler. people will prefer to go thorugh Airplane becouse u have to pay few amount extra and u can safe big time.
As regards International filghts , they cant fly from hyd , becouse we dont have big International pessengers, but now its right time to start flight for domestic... becouse main thing we dont hav time now what we have few years later. so in order to safe our time we hav to open it. |

Salam to all
There are two main reasons that why hyderabad airport is closed for citizens since last few years.
1) Hyderabad is located very near to a giant metropolitan city karachi, which is also the backbone of country's industrial and business sector, having a huge and busy sea port too, thats why all the trade and development concentrates to karachi because every investor and every employee wants to work there, therefore most of the previous industries moved to karachi from hyderabad, badly effecting revenue of hyderabad airport.
2) It also feels that since last two decades government is unable to give proper time for hyderabad's development which has resulted in a continous downfall in the overall condition of the city.

I highly respect the valuable comments made by fellow citizens about our Airport closure.
1. I will give you few examples, Like here in Canada Toronto is the largest City of the country Canada and the province of Ontario and yet another large city (Smaller than our Hyderabad) Hamilton just less than hour away from Toronto has a big International airport. In Korea Close To Seoul is second largest city of Pusan at the same distance of Hyderabad and Karachi and Pusan also has a major International airport.In New York USA, There is another major international Airport in adjacent state of New jersy known as NEWARC very close to New York. So my friends just because Karachi is close (Which is NOT that close if we compare with other International Examples) Hyderabad cannot have a major international airport is JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE in any way.

Sir Javaid sahab
There is a huge difference between our country and the countries about which u have provided examples, we r a developing country and they are developed country and the other thing is that i think u haven't stayed for a long period here in hyderabad thats why u r commenting like dreams.
Be here and observe the rality if u have the temper to face it.
May ALLAH make true all ur thinkings n wishes asap. we all will be happy if done so.

My Dear Fellow Citizens, Some people are thnking that i am Day Dreaming and just because i live in Canada so i am talking of fantasies to build our Hyderabad a Modern city and build International Airport. No i am NOT. What i am saying is 200% true and correct. It is just Hyderabad Sindh has gone through so much suffering,rejection,and neglection that Citizens of Hyderabad Sindh have become DEEPLY DEPRESSED. We all have to come out from this depression and STOP putting down our very own city. There should be no Inferiority complex and we must not be scared or threatened by the size,power, or big names of Karachi,Lahore or Islamabad. Instead we should be PROUD of ourself that we are also in the line of those great cities. Being 2nd largest city of Sindh and 3rd of Pakistan is already a huge honour. (People of Sindh has already rejected results of 1988 Census as it has decreased the poulation of sindh in general and Hydrabad in specific) So i don't believe i all such bull sh*t that Hyderabad has become all of a sudden 6th or some even take us down to 8th largest city of Pakistan. I just laugh while the population of pakistan is increasing at Rocket speed only poulation of Sindh and Hyderabad is going down. What a joke......
Look around yourself my goodness we cannot cross a road or even a street in Hyderabad every thing is fully packed. Go inside Sindh You will see every city,town and village, is packed and teeming with people and all major or link roads and highways are choked. And Yet we are told Poulation of Sindh and Hyderabad is going down. Please Think....
Problem Sindh and Hyderabad has been neglected all these years so there are no modern development projects and infrastructure to cope with the rapid growth of Sindh and Hyderabad.
Trust me guys what our Hyderabad Sindh has got ; None of the other cities of Pakistan have got.
Secondly please don't be so naieve that only myself and Furqan are travelling abroad so there is no need to build international airport. Go and check yourself the records of travel agencies and airline offices in Karachi and Hyderabad and you will be amazed to see how many people are travelling from Hyderabad Sindh to abroad.
Thirdly i am very well connected to my city, Sindh and Pakistan. Just because i live outside that does not mean i don't know what is going on here. I know all about it.
So please let us be strongly united to launch this campaign to build an International Airport for Hyderabad Sindh and start writing letters and contacting media to highlight this issue. God only help those who help themselves.
Yours in Solidarity,
Jawed Akhter
Toronto,Canada.

i highly appreciate Mr. Javiad's positive thinking and i am not against it but the thing is that actual topic is why hyderabad airport is closed not what we should do and what happens in other countries.
So according to topic i posted my points of view as a hyderabad's citizen keeping all aspects in mind that why its been done, no matter how many people do agree with me all over the world but i wrote what i saw and what i felt.
I like to talk to the point rather than to beat about the bushes, some people want to prolong the discussion un-necessarily though the picture has been cleared in minds of all hyderabadis here, thats why this is my last post in this topic according to the current conditions.
And yes in last i want to clear that some one insisted me to post my words on the forum otherwise i think there is no need to do this coz everybody knows why it is closed.
Many Regards
TO ALL

Well That someone is ME and here i just would like to correct one word that i did not INSISTED - though i did INVITED. That word will change the meaning of complete sentence.
And I also invited to some other seniors as well to come and discuss this issue.
I really didn't mean to Hurt someone. I am Extremely Appologize for it, if it does.
Let me clear here this topic is not UN-NECESSARILY discussed in anyway.
We really want Hyderabad Airport to be opened. We know the facts and figures though we do accepted that we are moving towards for Development then why WE IGNORE CITY AIRPORT which is an IDENTITY of any commercial city.
Hyderabad City is already famous in Bangles and we now have many China Assembled Motorcycles Industries in Hyderabad and INSHALLAH many more to come. So Being a Hyderabadi it is my and my team job to let all Hyderabadis be together and thing for +ve approach.
Practical Example: We launched ApnaHyderabad in 2002 - If we think that time, why we launch this website and what we get then I must say WE REALLY wouldn't be here. Neither this forum exist.
Regarding Mr.Jawed Comments i am really glad and appreciated his feedback. He is really an informative person for and about Hyderabad. Edited by Furqan Durvesh - 14/June/07 at 09:38 |

Dear Jawad, Please can you tell me that, by which resources you came to know that now Hyderabad Airport will start the operations soon?
Because I have been searching on Internet since the day I read your post and could not find any information relating.
Please can you tell me, as I am really anxious to know about it.
Also if possible can you tell me that which flights would be operation to and from Hyderabad in which days of week?
Hope to hear from you soon.
(i wrote reply just to your post though but did not receive any reply, hopefully you will reply to this post)
Kind Regards,
|
