List of Airports in Pakistan

Pakistan boasts a diverse network of airports, totaling 62 across the country. Three major airports are centrally located in Karachi, Islamabad, and Lahore. These airports serve as essential hubs for domestic and international travel, providing modern facilities and efficient operations to passengers.

Additionally, Pakistan features six medium-sized airports strategically positioned in cities such as Peshawar, Multan, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Quetta, and Sukkur. There are other 6 small but international airports situated in Dera Ghazi Khan, Gwadar, Rahim Yar Khan, Turbat, Skardu, amd Islamkot (under construction). These airports play a vital role in regional connectivity and contribute to economic development in their respective areas.

A noteworthy landmark in Pakistan’s aviation sector is the Sialkot International Airport, the first privately owned airport in Pakistan and South Asia. Operated by the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry, it represents a pioneering venture in airport management and operations.

While the majority of civil airports in Pakistan are operated by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority, there are exceptions such as the Sialkot International Airport. Additionally, military airbases, primarily managed by the Pakistan Air Force, play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation’s airspace. Exceptions include Dhamial Army Aviation Airbase in Rawalpindi and Tarbela Army Aviation Airbase, which are operated by the Pakistan Army.

As Pakistan continues to develop its aviation infrastructure, its diverse array of airports remains instrumental in facilitating travel, commerce, and defense operations across the country. From major international gateways to smaller regional airstrips, each airport contributes to Pakistan’s broader connectivity and economic growth.
