💸 Will It Cost a Lot?

Yes, airports cost money.
But they also make money by:

• Selling tickets
• Renting shops inside
• Bringing in tourists
• Helping trade goods

The government will check the feasibility, which means:

• Can this airport work well?
• Will it have enough passengers?
• Is it good for the area?

📉 What Are the Risks?

Even though this plan is good, some people are careful:

⚠️ “What if no planes come?”
⚠️ “What if people still go to big airports instead?”
⚠️ “Will there be enough flights?”

That’s why planning is very important.

🧠 What Can We Learn from Gwadar Airport?

• But many people don’t use it yet.
