Location

Zhob, Pakistan

Zhob Airport, designated with IATA code PZH and ICAO code OPZB, is a small domestic airport located near Fort Sandeman (officially renamed Zhob) in Balochistan province, Pakistan. The airport serves the Zhob District and provides limited scheduled air connectivity to other Pakistani cities. The airport is operated under the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) and serves a predominantly military and limited civilian role given the region's strategic location near Afghanistan. Infrastructure is modest, reflecting the low passenger volumes typical of remote Balochistan airports. Due to its location in a security-sensitive area, flight operations have historically been irregular, with service subject to demand and security conditions. The airport plays a role in connecting an otherwise isolated region to major Pakistani urban centers.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building with basic facilities to handle limited domestic passenger traffic.

Getting to & from

Ground transport to the city of Zhob is primarily via road taxi or private vehicle, as no formal public transit service connects the airport to the city center.
