Airport once outside Multan city is now inside the city due to city growth. Few passenger international flights to Dubai and many cargo services make it international. Now new state of art passenger terminal a longer and broader runway, and parking being constructed. Plan is to start direct flight to Europe.
Muhammad Bin Qasim International Airport traces its origins to the British Empire, when the Royal Air Force used the open space to fly in and out of the Multan region during 1919. The area was used for aircraft that were able to land on gravel and grass surfaces, however, there was very little development to the area. In 1934, Imperial Airways started to use the airfield for civil aircraft flights since Multan was considered a strategic position within the Punjab province of India. It was not until 1938 that Imperial Airways started to operate a regular flight out of Multan.
Direct Hajj Flights started from Multan Ibne Qasim International Airport after efforts of PM Pakistan.
