Gwadar’s New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) has officially commenced flight operations, connecting the port city to key domestic and international destinations.
According to available data, NGIA handled 42 flights between January 20 and February 26, 2025, with a total of 1,537 passengers.
The airport currently operates flights three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. A breakdown of the routes shows that 14 flights operated between Gwadar and Karachi, transporting 1,035 passengers, while seven flights connected Gwadar with Muscat, accommodating 502 passengers.
