This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a key hub for trade, tourism, and economic growth in the region. The new airport constructed with the assistance of Chinese investment under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
Moreover, this designs to handle large aircraft, including Boeing 747s and Airbus A380s. It expects to facilitate increased cargo movement and air traffic, significantly improving Gwadar’s potential as a global trade and investment destination.
