The first commercial flight of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has successfully landed at the Gwadar International Airport, making a major milestone in the city’s history.

The flight PK-503, carrying 46 passengers, took off at 9:50 am from the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi and landed at 11:14 am at the Gwadar airport.

The inauguration of the new airport took place Monday with Federal Minister for Aviation Khawaja Asif present at the moment.

The Gwadar Airport is the second greenfield airport in Pakistan and is capable of accommodating large aircraft like the Airbus A380.

“Consequent upon operationalization of new Gwadar International Airport (OPGW) from January 20, 2025, the existing Gwadar International Airport (OPGD) will be closed for all scheduled/non-scheduled air traffic and all other facilities have been withdrawn,” read a NOTIM.
