New Gwadar International Airport to Begin International Flights From January 10, 2025

The New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) is set to enhance regional connectivity with its upcoming international operations, starting with flights to Muscat from January 10, 2025. This marks a significant milestone for the region and is part of Pakistan’s broader vision for economic growth through improved infrastructure and enhanced global connectivity.

NGIA, as a flagship project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is a testament to the strengthening partnership between China and Pakistan. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has praised the airport as a symbol of the deepening China-Pakistan friendship and a catalyst for economic development. He emphasized that the airport will be a key driver for job creation, regional economic growth, and an essential hub for transit between Pakistan and international destinations.

Equipped with cutting-edge facilities, the New Gwadar International Airport is designed to accommodate the world’s largest commercial aircraft, the A380. It boasts the capacity to handle up to 400,000 passengers annually, making it a major player in regional aviation. Additionally, the completion of the first phase of the East-Bay Expressway ensures smooth transportation between NGIA and the nearby Gwadar Port, further boosting the region’s logistics and trade connectivity. The airport is also expected to undergo further expansions to keep up with growing demand.

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has already ramped up its Karachi-Gwadar flight services, responding to the increased demand in the region. Ongoing negotiations with international airlines aim to expand routes, positioning Gwadar as a crucial air travel hub in the region.

With its modern infrastructure and growing airline network, NGIA is poised to transform Gwadar into an essential gateway for travelers, businesses, and cargo, bolstering Pakistan’s position as a key player in regional and international trade.
