Multan International Airport

So old that locals still call it the City of Saints for its density of Sufi shrines and tombs, Multan draws pilgrims from across Pakistan and beyond to the historic quarters surrounding Multan International Airport, coded MUX. Punjab's south-central plains surround Multan, an agricultural and trading center long known for mangoes, textiles, and pottery, and the airport supports both that commercial base and the large diaspora of Multanis working abroad, particularly in Gulf states, whose remittance-driven travel keeps international routes to Saudi Arabia and the UAE well used. Domestic connections link Multan to Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, tying the city into Pakistan's broader air network despite its somewhat peripheral location relative to those larger metropolitan hubs. Extreme summer heat is a defining feature of the region, with temperatures regularly climbing into territory that shapes both flight scheduling and terminal operations. Security considerations tied to the wider region have periodically influenced how the airport operates and expands.
