New Gwadar International Airport will begin operations on January 20, confirmed by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This new development marks a significant milestone for Pakistan, with the airport set to become a key hub for both domestic and international flights.
In a recent notification, the CAA announced that Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) will operate the first flights from the airport. Local and international airlines have already shown interest in launching services to and from the New Gwadar International Airport, promising enhanced regional connectivity and economic growth.
Located in Balochistan’s Gwadar city, the airport plays a vital role in Pakistan’s infrastructure development plans, especially under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project. Its opening is expected to facilitate trade, tourism, and business opportunities, giving a boost to the region’s economy.
With state-of-the-art facilities, the airport is designed to handle larger international flights, ensuring smoother travel for passengers and cargo. Additionally, the airport’s strategic location strengthens Pakistan’s ambitions to position Gwadar as a global trade and maritime hub.
In other news, PIA has resumed its European flights after a four-and-a-half-year break. The airline’s first flight to Paris, PK-749, took off from Islamabad International Airport on Friday, marking another significant step towards strengthening Pakistan’s international air travel links.
