 Airport Technology - Allama Iqbal International Airport (LHE/OPLA), Lahore, Pakistan
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) number for each runway is as follows: runway 36R/18L concrete PCN 76/F/C/X/T and runway 36L/18R asphalt PCN 55/F/C/X/T. The Pakistani Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) was the driving force behind the construction of the new passenger terminal complex.
The project was carried out in anticipation of Lahore International Airport developing into a hub for international traffic, and also to cater to the needs of the population in the northern regions of the country.
With Lahore becoming a regional aviation hub and with greater accessibility to northern districts due to the motorway, the cartage of goods to and from Lahore is likely to increase.

 PRIVATIZING LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: Analyzing the Alternatives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While airport privatization is still relatively new (as noted in Section I), evidence has accumulated from five years of BAA performance and two years of Toronto's Terminal 3 that supports the argument that privatization makes a significant difference in airports as well.
As noted in a recent report on airport privatization from the American Association of Airport Executives, such participation could be fostered by the formation of an ongoing citizens advisory board, naming prominent citizens to the airport company's board of directors, and holding regular meetings with civic and governmental organizations and committees.
If the privatized airport opts for the greater flexibility that would be permitted by foregoing federal grants and avoiding being subject to FAA grant agreements, it would be still subject to federal and state antitrust laws (unlike today's municipally owned LAX, which is exempt from those laws).

After years of bureaucratic wrangling, it was concluded that Nasseri had entered the airport legally and could not be expelled from its walls; but since he had no papers, there was no country to deport him to either, leaving him in residential limbo.
Nasseri has continued to live within the confines of the airport to this day, even though French authorities have since made it possible for him to leave if he so chooses.
