No passengers, no planes, no benefits. Pakistan's newest airport is a bit of a mystery

  • The New Gwadar International Airport was financed by China for $240 million and completed in October 2024, but its opening remains uncertain.
  • Abdul Ghafoor Hoth stated that not a single resident of Gwadar was hired to work at the airport, 'not even as a watchman'.
  • Militant activity has continued in Balochistan, where locals express concerns over exploitation and discrimination by the government despite claims of local job creation from CPEC.
  • Residents of Gwadar protest poor living conditions, demanding access to electricity and water, but report that 'no progress has been made' on these demands since authorities pledged to meet them.
