E-auction of Old Tractors at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore

The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) is conducting an e-auction for the sale of old tractors located at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore. This auction is specifically for several models of Massey Ferguson tractors, including models from 2001 and 2008 to 2009. The auction will be held on 12th May 2026, with the opening at 11:00 AM and closing at 11:30 AM, providing a unique opportunity for interested bidders in Lahore to acquire these vehicles on an as-is-where-is basis. The tractors can be inspected at the airport site during working days from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM until one day before the auction date. Site visits require prior registration with the Logistics Branch office at the terminal building, and visitors must bring original CNIC and two photocopies. No site visits are allowed on the auction day itself. The auction process is governed by strict airport security and operational rules, including restrictions on smoking and carrying lighters inside the airport premises. Bidders must submit refundable bid security in the form of pay order, CDR, or demand draft in favor of Pakistan Airports Authority before the auction closing time. The highest bidder will be required to deposit the full bid amount within seven working days of the award letter issuance, along with a 5% performance guarantee. This guarantee will be refunded upon successful lifting of the auctioned items. Failure to comply with payment or lifting timelines may result in forfeiture of bid security or performance guarantee. This e-auction is open to all interested parties registered on the EPADS platform. For assistance with registration or technical support, bidders can contact the designated officials at PPRA Islamabad. The auction offers a practical chance for suppliers and vehicle dealers to acquire used tractors with transparent procedures and clear financial terms. A useful tip for bidders is to ensure timely submission of bid security and to carefully review the auction terms on EPADS to avoid disqualification or forfeiture of deposits.
