## Description

Perched at 1,670 metres in the Poonch valley of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, Rawalakot Airport (RAZ) is a high-altitude regional strip rather than a freight gateway. Its short runway limits operations to small turboprops, and PIA's scheduled service to Islamabad runs irregularly and is frequently grounded by weather. The airport has no cargo terminal or handling facilities, so it plays no part in air freight. Forwarders moving goods to the Rawalakot region route shipments through Islamabad International (ISB), roughly 100 kilometres away, then onward by mountain road via Murree and Kahuta. Seasonal closures of these passes are the main planning factor for time-sensitive freight.
