Pakistan has achieved a significant milestone in aviation infrastructure as the newly constructed runway at Quetta International Airport received the prestigious FIDIC Asia Pacific Engineering Excellence Award. The recognition was conferred during a special ceremony held in Islamabad, celebrating engineering innovation and execution across the region.
The award commends the Pakistan Airports Authority and the consultancy teams for their exemplary technical planning, safety standards, and successful delivery of a high-impact infrastructure project without disrupting airport operations. The project, completed at a cost of PKR 5 billion, reflects an advanced model of engineering coordination and operational efficiency.
Notably, the runway upgrade was accomplished without halting flight activities — a feat widely appreciated by engineering professionals across Asia Pacific. The upgraded runway is now one of the longest and most durable in the region, increasing Quetta Airport’s capacity to manage larger aircraft and higher traffic volumes.
The milestone was marked on May 31, 2023, when PIA flight PK-3250 from Islamabad made the first landing on the newly upgraded strip. Since then, the infrastructure has bolstered regional connectivity and strengthened Quetta’s position in Pakistan’s growing aviation landscape.
Winning the FIDIC Award places the Quetta runway project among the region’s top-tier engineering accomplishments and underscores Pakistan’s capabilities in delivering large-scale, high-standard aviation developments.
