History edit

It was built during the British Raj in 1927.[1] After independence, Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) further developed it to support the construction of Karakoram Highway.[1]

The airfield was also used by Pakistan Air Force in the 1960s and 1970s and flew C-130 planes from there.[1][2]
