Flying from Sialkot

It is continually expanding to match the growing demands of greater numbers of business and leisure travellers. Passengers flying from Sialkot with Qatar Airways will be impressed by the positive, proactive atmosphere of the airport, and the warm welcome and professionalism of the staff.
Transportation and parking
It is easy to drive to the airport, as the Sialkot-Wazirabad highway has a slip road that leads straight to the airport. However, parking is limited and in very high demand so it may be best to make alternative parking arrangements away from the airport and travel to it by taxi. Buses and trains run from Sialkot to Sambrial, but at that point you will need to disembark and take a taxi to the airport itself.
At the airport
Passengers flying from Sialkot with Qatar Airways leave from the main terminal’s Departures hall. A business lounge is available for First and Business class passengers, while a large and comfortable general lounge is also available.

Tourist attractions

A slightly more modern addition to the city’s landscape is the Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. Originally built in 1929 but torn down less than a year later, the reconstructed version built in 1986 demonstrates how important to the history of modern architecture the original was.
