Jiwani Airport (IATA: JIW, ICAO: OPJI) is situated 10 km away from the city centre of Jiwani in Balochistan. It is not a major airport of Pakistan. At this time, there is no scheduled service to or from the airport. Jiwani or Jwani is a town and commercial port that is located along the Gulf of Oman in the Gwadar District of the Balochistan province in Pakistan. It is located near the Pakistani border with Iran. With the Makran Coastal Highway now reaching Jiwani from Gwadar and also connecting Karachi, Jiwani is a place to be seen especially by those who are interested in observing history more closely.
Jiwani is 34 km from the Iranian border. It holds strategic importance in the region, being located adjacent to the shipping lanes to and from the Persian Gulf. This is the main reason for the town hosting a relatively large sized naval base and a mud track airport with a 5,500-foot runway which is still accountable to be operational.
