"I have learned and grasped a lot of knowledge and skills from my work here. Meanwhile, my salary from this project also supports my family a better life."
Covering an area of 18 square km, the new airport will be the second-largest airport in Pakistan.
As a key project under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), it will link the fast-rising port city of Gwadar with the rest of the world.
In the capital city of Islamabad, a painting enthusiast is working on a painting of the airport to mark the 10th anniversary of CPEC.

"My inspiration to paint the Gwadar Airport comes from a deep appreciation for the convergence of human ingenuity and the beauty of nature. Gwadar Airport, with its modern design and strategic location along the stunning coastline, embodies the spirit of progress, connectivity, and international cooperation.
With the completion of the New Gwadar International Airport and the development of CPEC, I expect a transformation of Gwadar into a regional transportation hub. This transformation will not only boost local trade and connectivity but also bring economic prosperity to the region."
