Quetta International Airport’s newly reconstructed runway was honoured with the prestigious FIDIC Asia-Pacific Engineering Excellence Award during a ceremony in Islamabad.
Officials say the runway—completed without closing the airport and at a cost of around PKR 5 billion—now ranks among the region’s longest and strongest rigid-runways.
The award recognizes the Pakistan Airports Authority and project consultancy teams for their exemplary planning, technical skill, and safety record.
The runway saw its first landing by PIA Flight PK‑3250 from Islamabad on 31 May 2023.
