Pak Airspace Opens After 28 Days, Flights to Delhi Not Operational

Pakistan re-opened its airspace on Wednesday, 27 March, for all domestic and international operations of flights, Dawn reported. The re-opening of Pakistan’s airspace for domestic and international operation comes 28 days after the cross-border tension escalated between India and Pakistan in the wake of air strikes on terror camps of Jaish-e-Mohammed conducted by India in PoK’s Balakot on 26 February.

Pakistan had shut down its airspace, ceasing flight operations from their country, a day later on 27 February, citing security situation.

According to the report, Pakistan has resumed domestic and international flight operations from all airports as per schedule, but transit flights will remain suspended.

Previously, flight operations at Lahore, Multan, Karachi, Faisalabad, Sialkot and Islamabad airports were suspended. Peshawar's Bacha Khan International Airport was also temporarily closed for commercial flights, according to airport officials.
