Federal Minister Junaid Anwar Chaudhry Secures Two Additional Flights to Gwadar Thanks to the efforts of Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs, Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry, two additional Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flights to Gwadar from Karachi have been reinstated. The new flights are scheduled to commence in the first week of August, marking a significant boost in air connectivity to the strategic port city.
Speaking on the development, Minister Chaudhry stated that expanding air links is essential for promoting commercial activity in the region.

The move has been welcomed by stakeholders in the business and logistics sectors, who have long advocated for improved transportation links to support Gwadar’s growing role as a trade and investment hub.
