Quetta airport is served by all 4 Pakistani airlines PIA, Airblue, Serene, and Air Sial and gulf carriers DLy Dubai and Air Arabia connect it with Dubai and Sharjah. It is also important to note that Pakistan’s key airpor Lahore’s International airport is fucntionaing on single runways from past many months. As the Pakistan CAA is upgrading its runway that resulted in sever delays when a DHL plane ended up blocking the only functioning runway. Faisalabad airport’s runway is also due for upgradation and that is going to cause a lot of disruptions.
