Its Passenger Terminal Building accommodates domestic and international travel in separate passenger areas. The flight destination determines which departure signs to follow within the building.

Airport name and terminal at Islamabad Airport

Passenger Terminal Building

ISB is the airport's IATA code, while OPIS is its ICAO code. Use Islamabad International Airport or ISB when choosing an airport destination for ground transport. Once inside the main passenger building, locate the airline's check-in area for your booked journey.

Airlines at the airport include Pakistan International Airlines, Airblue, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines and Saudia. Domestic and international passenger flows remain separate even though they share the building.

Transport from Islamabad Airport

Orange Line bus connection

The Orange Line Metrobus runs between the airport and Faiz Ahmed Faiz. Despite the Metrobus name, the service uses buses. At the airport, follow the Metrobus signs and check the route direction at the stop before boarding.

Match the route with your accommodation or meeting address. A trip beyond the line can require another bus or a taxi, so include that onward leg in your plan.

Taxi counter and reservations

Metro Radio Cab's airport service counter is in the Concourse Hall. Ask where the booked vehicle will meet you before walking to the pickup area. The provider describes airport vehicle pickup at car park level, which is separate from arranging the ride at the counter.

You can also arrange a cab from the city to the airport by telephone or online. An online request remains subject to confirmation from the provider.

Waiting and practical services at Islamabad Airport

CIP Airlines Lounge

The international CIP Airlines Lounge is within international departures after the passenger checks. Inside are seats, refreshments and Wi-Fi for admitted guests. This makes it an option for waiting before an international flight, rather than a public meeting place for visitors collecting an arriving passenger.

Check whether your cabin, airline or lounge membership gives access. Paid walk-in admission is also offered, subject to the lounge arrangement. Take the boarding pass and membership evidence needed to verify entry; the lounge visit must fit the area for your departure.

Currency exchange before onward travel

Airport currency exchange services include Pakistan Currency Exchange. Ask the information desk to direct you to an accessible counter in your passenger area. Compare the quoted rate and transaction conditions and have the identification required by the service ready.

Arranging mobility support

Wheelchair support is organised through the airline. Tell the carrier about your needs before the journey so assistance can be arranged for the flight, including check-in and boarding. Pakistan International Airlines offers an airport assistance request process for passengers who need this support.

Preparing to fly from Islamabad Airport

Follow the check-in instructions for your booked service and keep its departure area in mind when entering the terminal. For international travel, consult the relevant authorities about entry, health and customs requirements before you go.
