The first international flight took off for Muscat from the Gwadar airport on Friday with 39 passengers aboard. The development comes just days after the facility in Pakistan’s Balochistan province began commercial operations after a months-long delay.
The first international flight took off for Muscat from the Gwadar airport on Friday with 39 passengers aboard.
A security review, prompted by a string of attacks by militants in Balochistan in August last year, had delayed the airport’s opening to the end of 2024 from Aug 14. The airport was then due to begin operations on Jan 10 but finally opened this Monday as a Pakistan International Airlines flight arrived from Karachi.
“First international flight departs from New Gwadar International Airport to Muscat,” national carrier PIA, which operated the flight, said in a statement, adding that it would initially run one weekly flight to Muscat. Last month, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s office said the Gwadar airport would be able to handle A-380 aircraft and accommodate four million passengers annually.
