The National Assembly in its ongoing session passed multiple resolutions including renaming of the Gwadar International Airport as Feroz Khan Noon Airport and taking immediate steps to ensure payment of minimum wage to employees in public and private institutions.
Feroz Khan Noon was the prime minister of Pakistan and in his tenure Pakistan bought Gwadar from Oman.
Gwadar international airport situated 14 km (9 miles) north of the city centre of Gwadar in Balochistan.
The current airport caters mainly to the population of Gwadar. Pakistan International Airlines, the main airline flying out of the airport, connects Gwadar to Karachi, Turbat, Quetta, Peshawar, Islamabad, Lahore, Dubai, Doha, Kuwait City, Riyadh, Tehran, Mashhad, Bahrain and Muscat. Other airlines had recently launched their flights to Gwadar and currently had been doing pretty well due to successful performance. These included Oman Air, which flew to Muscat using ATR 42 aircraft, and airblue, which started twice-daily flights to Karachi through its joint venture partner JS Air.
