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,

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.
