Subject is a small, defunct airport of dubious note. Proposing deletion as the subject lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable publications. Steps were taken WP:BEFORE this nomination to locate said sources, but were not successful. Please do not hesitate to contact me should sources be located during the course of this discussion.

 * Keep Why do you say the airport is defunct and dubious? Pakistan Airlines once flew STOL aircraft from there and other airlines appear to be considering it for future service (trivial reference), and a plane got torched by militants there in 2010 . There was also a light plane crash there in 2010.  It's also in the proper databases for verifiability reasons   . There are also a couple secondary sources linked in the article itself, and a trivial reference to its expansion in English-language press. I think it's definitely something that can be developed, especially since not all sources may be in English. SportingFlyer  talk  02:33, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per SportingFlyer. It does appear to have been a verified functioning official airport, with commercial service and IATA code to boot. --Oakshade (talk) 05:00, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even smaller airstrips that are defunct are typically notable (this might be covered by GEOsomething - similar to an abandoned village). In this case it is actually functioning and sourcing is available.Icewhiz (talk) 06:51, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above.  samee  talk 15:21, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
