History

Dalbandin airstrip was constructed in 1935 to serve as a satellite of Samungli Air Base at Quetta. During the Second World War, it was made operationally ready by RAF to meet a possible Russian invasion through Iran. In the 1970s Dalbandin was a disused airfield. Although the airstrip is visible from high altitude, pilots making a landing approach sometimes found that the airstrip disappears, with sand dunes and sand collected on the runway obscuring it from view. Dust storms are frequent and cause delays in getting airborne. Quetta (کویتہ) is the capital of the province Balochistan in Pakistan. ...


The airfield was taken over by the Civil Aviation Administraiton [CAA] in 1985, it received a face lift, which provided modern navigational aids, air traffic control facilities, passenger terminals and a paved runway. There is twice a week scheduled Pakistan International Airlines service to and from Karachi. While not a military facility, this airfield is available to the Pakistan Air Force for emergency landing and recovery of aircraft during peacetime and wartime. Pakistan International Airlines (also known as PIA), is the national flag carrier of Pakistan with a network of both passenger and cargo operation around the world. ...
