Airport guide
Rafiqui Air Base (OPRQ) is a medium airport in Shorkot, Pakistan. It sits in Asia.
Rafiqui Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.
Rafiqui Air Base sits near sea level at 492 ft.
Local operations run on Asia/Karachi. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess inventory for OPRQ 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.
