About the Airport

Introduction to Faisalabad International Airport

Faisalabad International Airport (IATA: LYP, ICAO: OPFA) is an International Airport situated on Jhang Road, 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) south west from the city Centre of Faisalabad, in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

It serves the population of Faisalabad and several local cities such as Tandlianwala, Kamalia, Jaranwala, Jhang, Chiniot, Gojra, Dijkot, Samundri, Khurrianwala, Sangla Hill, Toba Tek Singh, Chenab Nagar, Sargodha, Bhawana, Pir Mahal, Chak Jhumra, Khichian, Jahangir Klan, and Lalian. With a large diaspora of Faisalabadis living abroad, the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has signed a new open policy to allow more airlines to operate from the city.

The airport is home to two flying schools who use the airfield for regular training for new cadets and aviation enthusiasts.
