AMID CONTINUING tension on the border, India reversed a shutdown that was put in place on Wednesday morning across nine airports and the airspace north of New Delhi. While civilian flight services to Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Amritsar, Pathankot, Dehradun and Dharamshala resumed in the afternoon, the situation continued to be fluid.
Pakistan, which had initially imposed restrictions on flights originating from and headed to India, fully closed its airspace by evening. As a result, flights that normally fly above Pakistan to go to the West were forced to take a detour.
