# Mansehra Airport

Mansehra Airport is a proposed airport project in the Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

## Background

In August 2016 the federal government allotted Rs. 5 million to buy land for the Mansehra Airport project and build the airport's essential amenities. However, in response to criticism from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), the administration formally abandoned the initiative.

The authorities chose to use Muzaffarabad airport instead of Mansehra Airport for flight operations in the North Zone, despite the fact that Mansehra Airport was supposed to improve connection and mobility for the residents of Mansehra and the surrounding areas.

The airport was expected to open in March 2023 after conducting a test flight earlier in the same year.
