## Description

Few airports in Pakistan are as scenically dramatic — or as operationally demanding — as Chitral (CJL), hemmed in by the Hindu Kush near Tirich Mir. Pakistan International Airlines serves Islamabad and Peshawar with ATR turboprops, but flights are strictly weather-dependent and limited to daytime visual conditions. The airport supports tourism and regional access rather than cargo, and has no freight terminal. Since the Lowari Tunnel opened, most goods reach the valley by road. Any genuine air freight demand is handled through the cargo facilities at Islamabad.
