ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The New Gwadar International Airport, built with Chinese assistance, is set to be handed over to Pakistani authorities, marking a major upgrade in connectivity and economic potential for the region. Managed by Khalid Kakar, this state-of-the-art facility will accommodate wide-body aircraft, enhance passenger and cargo operations, and establish Gwadar as a transshipment hub. Despite challenges like water scarcity and saline soil, Chinese engineers employed innovative techniques to complete the project to high standards, inspiring local construction practices. The airport, a symbol of Pakistan-China friendship, will boost regional growth under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
