ISLAMABAD, April 19 ― A long-delayed new international airport for Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, is set to open on May 3, a civil aviation official said yesterday during an advance tour of the facility.

The new facility will replace cramped Benazir Bhutto International Airport, voted the worst airport in the world in 2014 by the “Guide to Sleeping in Airports” website.
