Benazir Bhutto International Airport, International airport in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

This airport contained a single terminal building with multiple gates, handling both domestic and international flights for the Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan region.

Established in 1930, the airport operated until May 2018, when all commercial flights transferred to the new Islamabad International Airport facility.

The Pakistani government renamed the airport in 2008 to honor Benazir Bhutto, the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan and leader of a Muslim nation.

The facility handled nearly 5 million passengers annually through its terminal, offering connections to major cities across Asia and the Middle East.

Following its closure to civilian traffic, the airport infrastructure transitioned into PAF Base Nur Khan, maintaining military aviation operations.
