The decision was taken during a high-level meeting at PAA headquarters in Karachi, chaired by Director General Air Vice Marshal Zeeshan Saeed.
Officials were directed to prioritise the revival of airports in Turbat, Dalbandin, Dera Ismail Khan and Saidu Sharif. Plans for restoring operations at Sukkur, New Gwadar and other airports were also reviewed.
The move follows directives from the Ministry of Defence to rehabilitate dormant aviation infrastructure nationwide. Dera Ismail Khan Airport was recently restored after years of inactivity as part of the initiative.
The meeting also discussed matters related to a new private airline, though further details were not disclosed.
