The work on the development of new Gawadar airport is supposed to begin in March 2019. It has been long delayed in the past years. Now the Federal Government has taken a step regarding the construction work of the largest airport in Pakistan.
It is a project under the Pak-China Economic Corridor (CPEC) and also approved by the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC). China is determined to support this project in every way including its development and financially also.
The plans and layouts of this Airport are almost ready by the experts and professionals. It is expected to be a largest and very remarkable mark of Pak-China friendship with its high development.
The land area specified for the Gwadar Airport is 4300 Acers which is more than the area of both Karachi and Lahore Airports. It will be largest as well as a more facilitated and luxurious airport than the existing ones in Pakistan. The services and equipment will be improved and advanced at a large level.
Gwadar has already become an important and progressive city of Pakistan. After the completion of this project, it will become the hub of international trade. The rough estimation of the cost of the project is discussed by the project representatives.
This new Airport will cost almost around $ 2Billion which will vary. It is not the final cost estimation. The work on this project will be no more delayed like the previous year and will be carried out at a fast pace by the experts and professionals. It is expected to be completed soon if the work will continue with regularity and sincerity.
