The last phases of building the New Gwadar International Airport are now underway. The New Gwadar International Airport was built over 4300 acres of land and has a runway big enough to land an Airbus 380.
A contemporary terminal structure spanning 14,000 square meters is part of the project. The airport is expected to be completed this year at a cost of 246 million dollars.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan conducted and oversaw the flight test of the airport that will be constructed as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CAA).
At the new airport, a successful flight test operation has also been carried out. This activity’s primary goal was to evaluate the project’s air landing strips, flight procedures, and navigation facilities for effectiveness, quality, and safety.
The New Gwadar International Airport, which will cost an incredible 246 million dollars, is almost finished and will be turned over to the local government this year.
One of the main CPEC projects, according to reports, is the development of this world grade airport, which got underway in 2019. Situated on 4,300 acres of land, New Gwadar International Airport features a runway long enough to accommodate the Airbus a380, the largest aircraft in the world. A contemporary terminal structure spanning 14,000 square meters was part of the airport project.
On Tuesday, June 4, 2024, New Gwadar International Airport achieved aviation history by successfully completing a five-day flight test operation under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). A customary salute was also given on the runway upon the first test flight’s landing.
This activity’s primary goal was to evaluate the project’s air landing strips, flight procedures, navigation aids, and overall performance, quality, and safety.
Once it is finished, this airport will provide a stronger base for Gwadar Port and the city’s future growth.
