The biggest in Pakistan and would also become the nation’s second airport capable of handling A380 aircraft upon its commissioning in 2022. It was expected to stimulate the development in Gwadar peninsula and boost trade between Pakistan and China.

The airport would be operated under open sky policy and developed under the guidance of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).The New Gwadar International Airport project was initiated as an early harvest high-priority project of the CPEC programme in 2014.

Soil testing on the project site was started in January 2018 and involved drilling of 300 boreholes in various locations. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in March 2019.

With the Afgan consolidation and Iranian cooperation in terrorism, all the major hurdles toward Gwadar becoming an international hub are getting removed one by one….

Mash'Allah a good development. I might buy property in Gwadar one day.

There is NO drinking water in Gwadar to support large population ! Even the locals struggle for clean drinking water. We are not UAE or Kuwait with billions of dollars for seawater desalination plants. Gwadar can be Naval base and seaport with limited population. Why don't you guys first go and visit Gwadar by yourself. I have friends who wanted to invest but that have returned totally disappointed from Gwadar.

40 years back they were worse then us

As I understand there are 2 desalination plants, be it of small capacity, one built by the navy the other by the government. Desalination and clean drinking water were the first initiatives considered by both China and Pakistan for Gwadar.

So am quite taken aback by the recent water emergency. Are the desalination plants working up to capacity or has the population increased to manifolds?. the latter of which I doubt.

But am sure local authorities are on the issue to provide necessary means to improve daily life in Gwadar.

I hope it is designed to facilitate fast transfer of goods between Sea, land and air.

Oh..it will be operational similar to the way CPEC got operational?

Reports are that China do not want to progress with CPEC in it's existing form....They want to change road and even port Gwadar to Karachi due to safety concerns and uncertainty in neighbourhood (Baluchistan's neighbourhood i.e. Afghanistan and Iran)...Pakistan's government seems to agreeing to it. Gwadar is going in a cold storage.

Karachi is a mega city and less secure than Gwadar, so highly unlikely.

Internal security can be managed....external threats can't be so easily.......

The project is not going anywhere for many years... They keep making announcements every now and then... Truth is, Gwadar isn't really panning out as planned because there is just too much risk an instability there... Building an airport in Gwadar is literally building something in the middle of nowhere.

The people of Gwadar needs the basics in place first.. like health, education, and basic infrastructure necessities like water, gas, and electricity. Not a fancy airport to fly in and out Chinese port workers.

The project is on track. However India is escalating so Pakistan and China needs to deal with them first.
