When the New Gwadar International Airport begins full operations?

Correct Answer: D. 20 January 2025

The airport, a flagship project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), became operational on January 20. While it is fully equipped to handle large Airbus and Boeing aircraft, the national airline is currently operating ATR planes on the Gwadar route due to low passenger demand. PIA has launched one weekly international flight to Muscat from the New Gwadar International Airport. On the inaugural flight, 39 passengers departed for Muscat, with senior PIA officials bidding them farewell at the airport.
