## Description

Set at about 1,600 metres in the highlands of Balochistan, Quetta International Airport (UET) is the provincial capital's gateway and a genuine cargo location. It is served by PIA, flydubai and Air Arabia, carrying both passengers and freight to domestic and Gulf destinations. Cargo facilities are notably specialised for the field's size, including heated storage, livestock handling and customs-bonded security for valuable shipments, with ground handling by Gerry's DNATA, Menzies RAS and PIA. Quetta's position near the Chaman crossing into Afghanistan and the Taftan crossing into Iran makes it a reference point for regional transit trade. By land, the N-25 (RCD) highway links it toward Karachi, alongside the rail network. For forwarders, UET is a real cargo node with strengths in livestock and temperature-controlled goods.
