Benazir Bhutto International Airport

Rawalpindi District, Pakistan

Benazir Bhutto International Airport (Urdu, ICAO: OPRN) was an airport which formerly served the Islamabad–Rawalpindi metropolitan area. It was the second-largest airport by air traffic in Pakistan, until 1 May 2018 when it was replaced by the new Islamabad International Airport. Also known as Chaklala Airbase, it was renamed after the late Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto (1953–2007) in June 2008. The airport handled 4,767,860 passengers in 2015–16, compared to 3,610,566 in 2010–11. The airport was located in the area of Chaklala in Rawalpindi, which neighbours Islamabad. Following the establishment of the new Islamabad International Airport, the airport is no longer used for civil aviation (except general aviation) and now forms a part of the adjoining PAF Base Nur Khan (also known as PAF Base Chaklala).
