Islamabad International Airport (ISB) is Pakistan's second-busiest airport and its largest by cargo volume. Opened in April 2018, it replaced the older Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Rawalpindi. The airport handled over 6.8 million passengers in the 2024-25 financial year, and it sits about 25 km south-west of central Islamabad, near Fateh Jang.
ISB operates from a single integrated terminal building covering 180,000 square metres, with capacity for around 9 million passengers a year. Domestic and international flights are handled in the same terminal, separated into different sections. The airport is the main hub for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which shifted its international hub here from Karachi in 2019, and for SereneAir. Other carriers serving ISB include AirSial, Airblue, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways, Turkish Airlines, Saudia and China Southern Airlines.
From Islamabad, popular international routes run to Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Riyadh, Istanbul, Guangzhou and Kuala Lumpur, alongside domestic routes to Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta. For fares and schedules on any of these routes, check Traveloka's dedicated flight pages, which cover route-specific pricing in more depth than this overview.
ISB has no train or metro connection. Most travelers reach the airport by taxi, ride-hailing app (such as Careem), or private car via the M-2 motorway, which links directly to Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The drive from central Islamabad typically takes 30-45 minutes depending on traffic.
The terminal includes duty-free shopping, a range of restaurants and cafes, currency exchange counters, prayer rooms, and airline lounges for premium passengers. As a relatively new airport, ISB's facilities are modern compared to Pakistan's older airports, though it does not offer the extensive retail or entertainment options found at major international hub airports.
