## Description

BHV is the IATA code for Bahawalpur Airport, the air access point to southern Punjab and the Cholistan desert. Pakistan International Airlines runs domestic services to Karachi, serving a modest, mainly regional passenger base. The airport has no dedicated cargo terminal and no scheduled freighter activity. Regional exports — cotton, textiles and farm produce — move by road to the cargo facilities at Lahore (about 400 km) and Karachi for onward air shipment. Freight forwarders should treat Bahawalpur as a feeder point rather than a standalone cargo airport.
