A small airport in the heart of Gilgit city having a lenth of 1.3 km. ATR and mil planes can easily land on this airport, however Airbus / boing can’t land. Airport is located in Kashirot , near to Army Aviation Gilgit. 2 Flights are normally scheduled on daily basis. Due to less flights confirmation of seats a big issue for flight from and to Gilgit.
The Other services are Good! But the lodge department is so Useless they damaged my bag
Sittuated in himalayan plateau , not much crowded area.
It’s neat and clean domestic airport only operates PIA,s ATRs in mornings.. You surprised to see that no taxi/ rental car drivers app approach you unnecessary , opposite to Other airports in Pakistan. Prior pickup arrangements is recommended.City tour is must in Gilgit including Gilgit Bazar full of Chinese varieties of items, and being Center you can get best and dry fruits. It’s also best place for Pak-China and local cousins. Just to make your mind regarding the hot weather if you are travelling in summer.In less than 2 hrs drive to you can reach HUNZA and Nagar valleys..
A smallish airport that does not have a landing strip for boeing and other larger air crafts and can only manage an ATR that comes daily but again it depends on the cloud cover and weather enroute. Security staff is helpful but language could be an issue. They only speak local languages.
Compact airport with basic facilities. Only domestic planes land over here.Neat and clean area. Staff good.Must see.Highly recommended.
It was like the miniature version of a good airport staff is also good
Pretty basic facility. Only one airline company manages flights from Gilgit to Islamabad and back. No other destination, neither domestic nor international.Expect the unexpected, you never know when your flight gets delayed or even cancelled. So, plan accordingly, you may have to opt for the road travel eventually.

Well managed airport of Gilgit
Airport is very small and its operative in Day only. At night it get close, Only PIA ATR,s landing at Gilgit Airport. Very near from City. Staff is very Nice
Just love this place
A small and remote airport yet very convenient for those striving to skip long journey from Islamabad to Gilgit.
Saw this in 1987 during flights for Islamabad. Superb place Gilgit city was. Pristine. Out of the world ambiance. Am keen to see this airport once again.
A very beautiful airport. Very clean and tidy which wasnt expected in the first place.
Butifull airport in Gilgit
Gilgit Airport is much needed in this area because of mountains, land sliding its difficult to travel by road specially you have to cross chillas which is the most difficult area to travel by road. Although only PIA specual planes which is called ATR, operates here. But this airport is very clean and a very good facility for tourists who have direct approach to gilgit by air in very short time.
A must have facility for locals and tourists. Very small area. Only PIA flights ply on this route. They are not trust worthy people. Most of the time flights are cancelled with any genuine reason. Daily three flights to Islamabad and back starting from 6 AM to 10 AM. Higher Management of PIA needs to be scrutinised.
Gilgit is the capital city of Gilgit-Baltistan, region of Pakistan. The city is located in a broad valley near the confluence of the Gilgit River and Hunza River. Gilgit is a major tourist destination in Pakistan, and serves as a hub for trekking and mountaineering expeditions in the Karakoram Range.I love my Gilgit Baltistan
Beautiful location in Indian territory illegally occupied by Pakistan.
It is a beautiful airport suited for smaller planes & only mode of transportation in harsh winters with temperature plummeting to 20 below zero. It is the gateway to the magnificent Gilgit-Baltistan. In summer all of the facilities are open for the indigenous & Tourists.
Gilgit Airport is first of all in Pakistan. Google please fix this.It is a small airport with only ATR flights in the early morning as weather in afternoon is not stable and there are no night operation facilities.The airport itself is tidy and staff is welcoming.
Small Air Port Fantastic view only ATR and C-130 operates from here
Indian airport
In terms of beauty the place is priceless but in terms of functionality as an airport its an average place. The airport has the very basic setup with small aircrafts. As the place is surrounded with rocky mountains. Its a very beautiful place with peaceful environment and clean air. Meanwhile my trip from Gilgit to Islamabad I have also witnessed the magical mountain of Naga Parapet. Its not that clearly visible but you can see it from a distance via your aircraft. Its the 9th highest mountain in the world all covered with snow.
What the hell is this ????Gilgit Airport In pakistan not in India. Google please check and fix it. Gilgit city is very beautiful and famous city of Pakistan
Amazing and fantastic india :3
Gilgit airport runway. A domestic airport. A spectacular and amazing tourist destination in pakistan. TWO DAILY ATR FLIGHT OPERATION BY PAKISTAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINE.
A beautiful location of the airport. In winter you can find snow on the mountains surrounding the airport. There is always a chance of cancelation of flights. Hence check whether conditions before booking your flight. However once a flight lands then it does fly back. Usually two flights come every day. Interesting both come with a gap of half an hour.
Such a picturesque and scenic Pakistani airport.
Gilgit Airport is in pakistan kindly correct the biggest mistake make by Google map

Gilgit airport is not in india
Cooperative staff are present in airport
A small airport with an awesome view
It’s most helping app
Great to see airport here. I hope PIA will introduce good n updated fleet in this route. Beacause mostly people like me are afraid to fly in hilly areas on fokker. So they should introduce modern aircrafts on this route.
This Airport Should Now Upgraded Into An International Airport Because Of This GBs Tourism Is Suffering.
Nice domestic airport
One of the most beautiful places on planet Earth. Small ATRs fly to Gilgit from Islamabad. The flight is worth taking. You can see the famous mountain ranges Karakoram, Hindu kush and Himalaya. The snow covered mountains take your breath away. However, flights often get cancelled due to bad weather. Always have plan B in you want to travel To/from Gilgit.
Cooperative Staff of CAA, excellent building and a spacious parking lot. Located at the heart of Gilgit city.
Beauti airport in Pakistan
One of world beautiful airport with natural beauty
This Airport is situated in the heart of #Gilgit#City#Sonikot.The government has snatched most of the land for this airport from local people,without giving a penny.However we love Gilgit,Pakistan.
Airport is neat and clean and staff are good. But the main problem is flight. PIA has monopoly in gilgit. The flight is unpredictable. You need to buy the tickets atleast 2 weeks before your travel date. If you miss your flight PIA will put your name on next available date which is atleast one week later. So it totally depends on your luck for making it on to the flight or not.
This is gilgit airport Pakistan not India
I love our(Pakistans)fifth province that is Gilgit baltistan
Beautiful place
Gilgit Airport (IATA: GIL, ICAO: OPGT) is a small domestic airport situated 1.25 nm(2.3 km) east of Gilgit, a city in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The city of Gilgit is one of the two major hubs for all mountaineering expeditions in the northern areas of Pakistan.Because of its short runway located at the edge of a slope, even Boeing 737s and similar-sized jet aircraft cannot operate at Gilgit Airport. Pakistan International Airlinesoperates ATR 42 aircraft on the Gilgit-Islamabad route. Other aircraft that operate at the airport include the military Lockheed C-130 Hercules. In the past, Fokker F-27 Friendship was being used but later it was replaced by ATR 42.A new terminal was constructed in 2014 which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. This terminal included modern check-in facilities as well as different arrival and departure sections.This airport when planned, composed of the land twice as big as it is now. But due to excessive water leakage from the ground, the land was used to create a public park in the vicinity of this airport. The park was named as CAA Park or City Park Gilgit. The leakage was caused due to excessive bombings on this area during War Period.
