PIA and a New Runway in Balochistan
The officials from the Pakistan International Airline shared the news that the country's flagship
carrier has recently operated a successful test flight. It took place at a
newly built runway by China in Saindak Town. It is a mineral-rich region of the
province of Balochistan, and Chinese media have also shared this news. The
Airport of this area is known as Juzzak Airport, located in the Chagai district
of the country's biggest province.
It is important to note that the Juzzak Airport is
made operation to facilitate Chinese engineers to take PIA flights to work on
the projects taking place in that specific region. The flights usually take off
from Karachi and land in that newly-built airport. Moreover, the license of the
airstrip has also been renewed in the last month (August 2021).
