Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) has made it clear that country’s all airports are functional and airports are safe for travel, reported 24NewsHDTV Channel.
Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) spokesperson said the government has informed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) of the serious threats posed to civil aviation due to India's irresponsible actions.
The PAA said the management of the national airspace was ensuring the smooth and continuous flow of domestic and international commercial flights.
Earlier, Pakistan temporarily closed its airspace for 48 hours, suspending all domestic and international flights across all the country's airports, including Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, and Quetta.
According to aviation sources, Islamabad International Airport has been shut down for all flight operations, and all inbound and outbound flights are being diverted to Karachi Airport. Saudi Airlines flight SV-726, which was scheduled to land in Islamabad, has also been rerouted to Karachi.
Authorities have advised passengers not to come to the airport and to return home. The Civil Aviation Authority stated that normal flight operations will resume once the situation stabilizes. While the exact reasons for the airspace closure have not been officially disclosed, officials suggest it is part of a broader security measure.
