Islamabad Airport declared Pakistan’s first three-star airport by Skytrax

Islamabad International Airport has received a three-star rating from global airport ranking organization Skytrax, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Friday.

The Skytrax assessment makes Islamabad International Airport the first airport in Pakistan to earn a three-star classification. 

Skytrax awarded the rating after reviewing passenger facilities, service standards, and overall airport management.

Officials said the rating reflects improvements in services and facilities available to passengers at Islamabad International Airport.

In the same ranking, Dubai International Airport also received a three-star rating, and Lahore and Karachi airports retained their two-star status due to limited shopping facilities and poor cleanliness of washrooms.

Skytrax, a United Kingdom-based air transport rating organization founded in 1989, evaluates airports and airlines worldwide through professional audits of infrastructure, products, and staff service. 

The organization assigns ratings ranging from one to five stars and also conducts annual World Airport and Airline Awards based on passenger surveys.
