Long a remote outpost in Pakistan's Makran belt, Turbat has grown from a basic airstrip into an internationally designated airport serving the Kech district. Today Pakistan International Airlines operates roughly four weekly flights to Karachi, alongside an international link to Muscat that mainly carries migrant workers to the Gulf. Goods travel only in the belly holds of these passenger aircraft, as the airport has no standalone freight terminal or bonded warehouse. For consolidated and scheduled airfreight, forwarders rely on Jinnah International in Karachi (KHI). Planned Sharjah-via-Gwadar services by Orbit Aviation and interest from airblue could widen Turbat's reach in the coming years.
