- A proposal has been put forward to extend Hyderabad Airport’s runway to 11,500 feet, which would enable the landing of large aircraft such as the Boeing 777.
- The upgrade would also improve passenger facilities, allow the airport to serve as an alternate during bad weather or emergencies, and support its development as a regional aviation hub, with road links to Karachi and other Sindh cities for passenger transport; commercial flights have been suspended since the last PIA service in 2013.
