Quetta: Balochistan Chief Minister (CM) Jam Kamal Khan
Alyani on Wednesday (March 4) inaugurated the recently completed runway and
international lounge facilities at the Quetta International Airport, according
to a news report. As per the publication, the CM also laid the foundation stone
for another mega runway facility at the venue.
Federal Minister for Aviation Ghulam Sarwar Khan, PIA
officials and various ministers of the Balochistan assembly attended the
ceremony. Speaking at the occasion, CM Alyani said that the new runway at the
Quetta airport would have the capacity to host bigger planes like the Boing 777,
and offer better travel facilities to tourists and pilgrims.
He also appreciated the efforts of the Pakistan
International Airlines and the Civil Aviation Authority in teaching flying
skills to other countries around the world and helping them set up their own
aviation industries.
The CM also took the opportunity to state that the Quetta
International Airport and the under-construction Gwadar International Airport were
increasing in importance due to the development of the China-Pakistan Economic
Corridor initiative. He added that the aviation sector’s development was among
the government’s top priority, as it would allow for greater regional
connectivity and improvements in the operations of the Quetta airport (which reportedly
currently receives 500,000 passengers every year).
