Onboard Pakistan International Airlines mountain flight from Islamabad to Gilgit and return travelling inside the cockpit.
Gilgit Airport (IATA: GIL, ICAO: OPGT) is a small domestic airport situated 1.25 nm(2.3 km) east of Gilgit,a city in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan. The city of Gilgit is one of the two major hubs for all mountaineering expeditions in the northern areas of Pakistan. Many tourists choose to travel to Gilgit by air since road travel betweenIslamabad and Gilgit by the Karakoram Highway takes nearly 15 hours in car and 24 hours in bus, whereas air travel takes only about an hour.
Because of its short runway located at the edge of a slope, even Boeing 737s and similar-sized jet aircraft cannot operate at Gilgit Airport. Currently Pakistan International Airlines operates ATR 42 aircraft on the Gilgit-Islamabad route.
