| Pakistan is going to kill several birds with one stone and the stone is Gwadar International Airport. South Asia’s largest airport is expected to start its operations by March this year. Domestic and International flights will be operated from this airport. It will be among one of the world’s latest airports which will become an economic hub for China, Central Asia and South Asia. This airport doesn’t come alone with economic prosperity but also with cultural cooperation, strategic importance and peace in the region because three regions are connected with it.
This airport is spread over a wide range of area covering around forty-three hundred acres of land so it can accommodate big aircraft like ATR 72, AirBus A300, C-130, Boeing 747 and Boeing 737. The country’s second Greenfield airport can handle thirty-thousand-tonnes of cargo a year even in the high-sea season. This airport can be a significant factor for the growth of Pakistan’s economy. According to the reports, Pakistan is forecasting an increase in its domestic trading activities by 55 percent while 200 percent in foreign investment after the functionality of this airport. |
