Peshawar Airport (PEW) Getting From the Airport to the City

Bacha Khan International Airport is about 3 km in a straight line from the centre of Peshawar; by road the distance is longer. Travel time depends on traffic and the time of day. Peshawar traffic can be heavy in the city centre; plan your route and allow extra time.

Options

• Ride-hailing apps: where available, app-based rides give a price and a tracked journey. Availability and pick-up points vary, so check the app on arrival.
• Airport taxis: use official or well-known taxi services, and agree the fare or confirm the meter before you set off.
• Pre-arranged pickup: hotels, tour operators or family can arrange a driver; share the flight so they can track it; see pickup board.
• Other transport: buses and other options may exist; ask at the airport information desk.

We do not hold verified fares or schedules, and they change.

Tips

• Arrange your ride before you land when you can.
• Keep your bag with you and confirm the destination before the car moves.
• Avoid unofficial offers made inside the terminal.
• Have some local currency or a working card, and a charged phone.
• Check the time of day: rush hours add a lot of time.

Safety

Be wary of strangers offering rides for money. Use official or recommended options. Keep documents and valuables in hand baggage.
