Re: Three Areas Identified for Construction of New Gilgit Airport
Gilgit-Baltistan Information Minister Fatehullah Khan today informed PTV News that last month Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) officials visited and surveyed three possible areas for the construction of a new airport in Gilgit for larger aircraft operations on domestic and international routes. Feasibility report will be prepared and one of these three areas will be selected for the construction of new Gilgit Airport.
It's not possible to expand or upgrade existing Gilgit Airport for larger aircraft operations, he said.
Presently, PIA operates flights to & from Gilgit with ATR turboprop aircraft.

someone is going to make a lot of money, first buying the land where the airport is going to be built, then selling it to CAA.
Huge profits in such projects.
