GWADAR - New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) is soon to be equipped with Electronic Gates (E-gates) in line with international high-tech standards for the facilitation of passengers.
This is part of the project of Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) to make installation of e-gates across Pakistan in phases. Other airports that will have e-gates include Islamabad, Allama Iqbal, and Jinnah International Airport.
This project will be completed under the supervision of the Aviation Secretary and the Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority (DGCAA).
Sources indicate that suggestions have also been obtained from different national institutions including the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), etc.
Meanwhile, tenders will be sought for the E-gate project.
The installation of E-gates will eliminate the hassle for travelers as they don’t need to wait in queue to get boarding pass and can obtain their boarding cards through the E-gate by scanning their passport and ticket.
The sources within CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) mentioned that the E-gate uses the data embedded in the Passport’s biometric chip.
This new technology will provide international travel convenience to passengers. Under this system, passengers undergo biometric authentication through facial, fingerprint, iris recognition or overall procedures, after which the gate will automatically open for the passenger.

Memorandum of Understanding between Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) and Quetta Electric Supply Company (CASCO) for supply of electricity to New Gwadar International Airport (NGIA) through national grid has been Signed.
Under the MoU, around 12 MW of electricity will be supplied to the New Gwadar International Airport till October 17, which will meet the 24-hour power requirements without any interruption. The MoU states that commercial tariffs will be charged on the basis of electricity consumption.
On the special directive of the Ministry of Planning, Quetta Electric Supply Company, which handles the electricity supply across Balochistan, has approved to supply 12 MW of electricity to NGIA.
The testing and commissioning work has been completed, all the necessary equipment like poles, transmission lines and electrical circuits have been connected to the installed power system.
12 MW power will be available to NGIA 24 hours a day through three transmission lines to ensure uninterrupted power supply. This means that if one line fails, the other will automatically connect and if it goes down, the third will act as a backup, he added.
A supply is coming from the 286 km long, 132 kV dual circuit line via Nal-Basima-Nag-Panjgur. Another route is from Mand-Pushin-Turbat line to Gwadar grid station. The third is from Gabad-Ramden line to Jeoni-Gwadar grid station.
After the electrification process is completed, NGIA is expected to start welcoming domestic and international flights, ushering in a new era of modern aviation connecting Gwadar to the world.
The main components of the Chinese-funded NGIA including runways, taxiways and aprons, were unveiled on July 27, marking the 10-year anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative.
The new airport is located 26 km northeast of Gwadar city on the coast of the Arabian Sea. The NGIA project was initiated in 2014 as a high priority project under CPEC.
It was approved by the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council in January 2015.

A new monitoring station of Meteorological Department will be established in Gwadar
By Staff Reporter
Oct 21, 2023
The China Meteorological Department (CMA) has said that it is expected that a new monitoring station of the Meteorological Department will be constructed at Gwadar Port under the cooperation between China and Pakistan by the end of October, he added. Said that recently a batch of new meteorological equipment has already been sent to Gwadar Port, Pakistan through Khunjrab Pass. Khunjarab is an important land border crossing between the two countries in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.
This will not only help BRI partner countries and regions enhance their climate monitoring capacity, but will also help them improve their monitoring and early warning capacity for cyclones and other catastrophic weather events, and help them improve disaster preparedness. It will help in decision making for prevention and mitigation.
China and Pakistan are key members of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Regional Association Two. Cooperation between the two countries is of utmost importance for climate development in Asia.
