National and international operational airports in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan

According to the information made available to the National Assembly by the Minister Incharge of the Cabinet Secretariat, the Gilgit and Skardu airports are the operational airports in Gilgit-Baltistan for domestic flights operation whereas Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot airports are ‘scaled down’ airports in AJ&K. These airports were ‘scaled down’ because PIAC discontinued the flight operations, due to insufficient traffic load.
