Bahawalpur Airport guide

Bahawalpur International Airport serves Bahawalpur, a city in southern Punjab, Pakistan. It lies about 3.7 km from the city centre at an elevation of 119 m (392 ft). The Pakistan Airports Authority operates it. The first section of the runway opened on 9 November 2002, and a second phase was inaugurated on 21 January 2007.

Traffic is light. The airport recorded 34,493 passengers and 932 aircraft movements in 2024-2025, a 9.6% rise in passengers. South Air began flights to Karachi and Islamabad in 2026, operating three times a week. Pakistan International Airlines has also scheduled services from the airport, and booking sites show only a few departures a day.

The single asphalt runway, 08/26, measures 2,848 m (9,345 ft). That length suits regional jets and turboprops and allows occasional charter and non-scheduled flights. Passengers use the Sheikh Rashid Terminal, a newer building that replaced the original facilities.
