skyman I was not fantasising regarding PIA, thats why I put it in larger letters with smiley - I too believe it would never happen, well not atleast for 10 years or so!!! However, I was one of those who thought a long haul scheduled service by the likes of EK would never happen, so I have learned never to never easily!
The filling station is still in the plans I believe! Maybe building work on the new hotel is to be completed, before the other side of the entrance is started? Work is progressing quickly on the new departures area - whereby pax will have to walk through shops to access gates, an effort by the airport to get people to spend more! No doubt more retail facilities will be added.
What a difference the airport is to a few years ago in terms of routes, airlines, facilities etc!
