Gwadar International Airport (GIA) was an airport in the Makran Division of Pakistan's Balochistan province, located north of the city center of Gwadar City. The airport was closed to civil air traffic in 2025, after the construction of the modern New Gwadar International Airport.
The town of Gwadar was purchased by Government of Pakistan from Sultan of Muscat in 1958. Air operations started in 1966. It was given international status when two weekly international flights from Karachi-Gwadar-Muscat were initiated. The terminal building was inaugurated in 1984 and the newly constructed Departure/VIP Lounges were inaugurated in 2008.
In 2024, Gwadar International was replaced with a more modern and larger airport i.e- The New Gwadar International Airport. The airport was closed to civilian air traffic on 20 January 2025 after the PAA issued a formal NOTAM.
