Under a previous agreement, Terminal No. 1 at Karachi airport was handed over to Coalition troops and several Coalition soldiers were residing at the Pakistan International Airline hotel, near the airport. Coalition troops have will have until November 11 to leave this terminal. After forcibly removing the Taliban government in Afghanistan, Terminal 1 was declared a Forward Monitoring Base for Afghanistan’s development.

Coalition forces also had a contract with Pakistan International Airline hotel that expires November 11th, which they have informed the concerned authorities they do not intend to extend. |
