Flights to Muscat Starting Next Week

The New Gwadar International Airport is set to begin flights to Muscat on January 10, 2025, marking a significant milestone in Gwadar’s integration into the global aviation network. The Prime Minister shared this during a meeting to review the airport’s progress.

Expanding International Reach

Efforts are ongoing to attract airlines from Pakistan, China, Oman, and the UAE to operate flights from the airport. The facility’s advanced infrastructure positions it as a strategic hub for both domestic and international routes.

Pakistan-China Collaboration at Its Best

Built with Chinese expertise, the airport is a symbol of the enduring partnership between Pakistan and China. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, it is the largest airport in Pakistan and can handle large aircraft like the A-380.

Infrastructure Upgrades Underway

The Prime Minister has instructed authorities to enhance road connectivity to the airport and ensure high standards of security. The East-Bay Expressway, linking the airport to the city, has completed its first phase, with plans for further extensions in progress.

Enhanced Passenger and Cargo Services

The airport will host a range of facilities, including cold storage, warehouses, and shopping complexes. Major banks are in discussions to establish branches and ATMs at the site, further enhancing convenience for travelers.

A Catalyst for Economic Growth

With 400,000 passengers expected annually, the airport will create numerous job opportunities and stimulate economic activity. The increase in PIA flights between Karachi and Gwadar from one to three times weekly underscores the growing importance of the region.
