Flight operations resume nationwide: CAA
CAA has directed the passengers to contact their airlines for details on flight schedule.
LAHORE (Web Desk) - Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Friday announced the complete resumption of airspace.
The tweet maintained that the flight operations have been recommenced fully including Gilgit, Faisalabad, Multan & Rahim Yar Khan Airports, which were suspended for an additional 24 hours on Thursday.
The authority has directed the passengers to contact their airlines for details on flight schedule.
The recurrent decision to close the airspace came following the current crisis which dates to February 14, when a suicide bomber killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary officers in the deadliest attack in three decades in Occupied Kashmir.
Last week, India sent warplanes into Pakistan for the first time in five decades. Pakistan counterattacked, leading to a dogfight in which at least one Indian jet was shot down and a pilot was captured by the Pakistanis.
Prime Minister Imran Khan returned the pilot to India, in what was seen as a good-will gesture, called for talks and promised an investigation into the bombing. India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi took the opportunity to back off further escalation.
