Bahawalpur Airport

Bahawalpur Airport (OPBW) is a medium airport in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code OPBW or IATA code BHV. It sits in Asia.

Bahawalpur Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Bahawalpur Airport sits near sea level at 392 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Karachi. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess inventory for OPBW updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

Bahawalpur Airport is situated 2 nm (3.7 km) from the city centre of Bahawalpur, in lower Punjab, Pakistan. The airport mainly caters to the city of Bahawalpur, however, the national carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), decided to launch international flights to the Middle East in July 2009. The airport extension project is being supervised by the Dubai Civil Aviation Department.
