Skardu Airport Development
A completed aviation infrastructure project improving runway capacity, passenger facilities and navigation systems to support safer operations and stronger regional connectivity in northern Pakistan.
Airport infrastructure planned around increasing travel demand.
Growth in tourism and passenger movement increased the need for stronger physical and technical airport infrastructure. The project connected aircraft movement, passenger handling and operational control within one development programme.
Aircraft Movement
Runway improvements strengthened the airport’s core aviation infrastructure.
Passenger Handling
Terminal upgrades improved spaces used for arrivals, departures and waiting.
Operational Control
Modern navigation systems added technical capability for safer, more efficient operations.
Skardu · Gilgit-Baltistan
