Remote highland gateway serving Azad Kashmir's Poonch district.

Location
Rawalakot, Pakistan
Rawalakot Airport (IATA: RAZ, ICAO: OPRT) is a small domestic airport located in Rawalakot, the administrative capital of the Poonch district in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. Situated at an elevation of approximately 5,479 feet (1,670 meters) above sea level, the airport serves as an important air link for a mountainous region that is otherwise accessible mainly by road. The airport is operated under the authority of the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA). Due to its high-altitude location and surrounding terrain, flight operations can be challenging and are subject to weather-related disruptions. Services have historically been intermittent, with Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) operating or having operated routes connecting Rawalakot to Islamabad. The airport is relatively small in infrastructure, with limited facilities befitting a regional domestic aerodrome. It plays a strategic role in connecting the relatively isolated Azad Kashmir territory to the rest of Pakistan.
Terminals
The airport has a single, modest terminal building typical of small regional Pakistani domestic aerodromes.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the airport primarily consists of private vehicles and taxis, as the city lacks formal public transit links to the aerodrome.
Airlines here
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has historically operated domestic services at Rawalakot Airport, primarily connecting it to Islamabad.
