Naming confusion

There are 2 different names specified for this airport: Gandhara International, and Benazir International. Can someone check out what is the latest government decision regarding the name and clarify the contradictory information in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Smith 104668 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 21:27, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name of Airport?

Inconsistency. Is it Gandhara or Liaqat Ali Khan International Airport? Please move the page if necessary.

Most sources I found are unreliable. JosVan (talk) 08:36, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Airport Name

The official name of the airport is Gandhara International Airport. This is officially recognized by the CAA (The founders of the airport). Liaquat Ali Khan was the "runner-up" name and thus is not the name. Gandhara has been officially selected, so I ask that Wikipedia Editors should not incorrectly change its name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 3dsxl (talk • contribs) 00:58, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EK A380 visit

I don't consider it an 'edit war' when an anonymous user is just mindlessly adding their own opinion. The fact is, EK brought an A380 as a one-off promo flight to ISB. It DID carry passengers and tickets were also sold on the Emirates website. No EK does NOT have a vendetta against Pak or ISB. It's a well known fact that CAA has not allowed scheduled A380 services to ISB, but there's no source for that so I can not add it to the article. The paragraph about the EK visit was fine as is and I will be restoring it and reporting any further edits to that paragraph for vandalism. MeltdownSpectre (talk) 15:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Pilot was not Pakistani because the Arab airline won't allow it. Try adding the following underneath:

There was no First Class for sale on the flight and many other Emirates destinations in Asia saw such an only flight.^[1]
