Re: Turbat Airport to be Expanded
Turbat International Airport is the second largest in Balochistan after Quetta International Airport. Turbat Airport is constructed over an area of 680 acres.
Project to upgrade Turbat Airport will be completed in eighteen months.
The airport will become capable of handling narrow-body jet flights like Airbus A320 and Boeing 737.
Currently, the airport is served by turboprop flights.

Re: Turbat Airport to be Upgraded
It took more than two years for the work to actually start on ground. Very poor situation.
