Following are some of the main questions addressed by this study: How was Pakistani aviation industry before 9/11? What were the threats to it at that time and what threats it is facing now days? Are Civil Aviation and other Law Enforcement Agencies in Pakistan playing its due role for the protection of aviation industry, keeping in view the current security situation in Pakistan in the post 9/11 scenario? What is the role of different Law Enforcement Agencies in the protections of airports in Pakistan? Are the basic structures of the concerned agencies in line with the international standards set for the purpose? What types of threats are faced by Pakistani airports and what are its remedies? What is the location of BKIA Peshawar and why it has been targeted more than any other airport in Pakistan? This dissertation addresses these questions by focusing on Pakistan aviation industry and Bacha Khan International airport in specific. The available literature often overlooked the multidimensional impacts of terrorism on Pakistan aviation industry. Specifically, this dissertation focuses on the impacts of terrorism on BKIA Peshawar, which type of attacks were faced by this airport and what were the effects of those attacks.
