Quetta: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced that it will construct a new and enhanced runway at Quetta International Airport during the coming month in a bid to accommodate wider planes with ease, according to news published on December 04.
The said announcement was made by CAA Chief Operations Officer (COO) Malik Mazhar Hussain. He revealed this plan in a meeting held with the Quetta Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) officials. The representatives from QCCI reported that they were facing problems in business travel after the recent floods that destroyed major road arteries of Balochistan.
Addressing their concerns, COO Hussain revealed that the new runway will receive direct flights from Dubai, Saudi Arabia and European countries. To this effect, the authority sought assistance from QCCI to enhance air travel facilities for the business community. Mr Hussain assured the traders that facilitating industry and business officials were one of the government’s top priorities as they are at the centre of the country’s economic activity.
