Gilgit Should Have Airport for Jet Flights Says PM Sharif
Gilgit Airport in December 2013.
Today, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a public meeting in Gilgit said that airport in Gilgit should be made capable of handling jet flights.
He said that in case expansion of existing Gilgit Airport for handling jet flights is not possible then an airport capable of handling jet flights should be constructed at a new location in Gilgit.
He said that airport in Gilgit capable of handling jet flights will help in exporting products like fruits of the region and will also help in attracting Gulf airlines like Emirates and Qatar Airways. He gave example of Sialkot Airport that has managed to attract these Gulf airlines.

These routes scream regional jet.
I wonder why no airline here has considered them, even the Fokker 28 and 70 or the much smalller Fairchild Dornier 328jet that could carry 35 passengers, its now being revived in Turkey as TRjet http://www.defenceturkey.com/www/makale ... tLorbi.jpg
