If you were on Twitter this weekend, you may have noticed some images of the new Islamabad Airport circulating:
Stunning right? Except, lmao, they were fake.
The images that were shared all over the Internet by people, including Nighat Dad and ‘The News’, were in reality, of an airport in the Middle East, not in Islamabad.

Lmao, talk about awkward.
The tweet by Nighat Dad was quickly removed, however, many others had been sharing the images as well, for which reason, this was now considered the new airport.
And in truth, we ourselves started to write an article on the ‘beautiful first pictures of the airport’ until we noticed it wasn’t the airport, lol.
As did a ton of other people, all over Twitter.
Please delete this tweet because it contains wrong images.

Those are fake pictures being circulated as the new airport. I believe the new airport has been named Islamabad International Airport.

Now, this is the digital age and Twitter does have the ability to drive us a little mad when it comes to sharing fake news, but, lol, come on now people.
And for those of you interested in seeing what the new airport is ACTUALLY going to look like,
Here you go.

Now, we are hoping that the official Government’s Twitter is a valid source, but in case these are wrong, we’ll find out when the actual airport opens, on the 20th of April, this year.
Still pretty stunning.
What do you think of the fake pictures? The real pictures? The Islamabad airport? ISLAMABAD? Let us know in the comments below! Love you.
