In a partial relief to airlines, Pakistan has opened one route for west-bound flights from India more than a month after it shut its airspace for all civilian flights following the Indian Air Force’s strikes at Balakot.
“Pakistan opened a route for west-bound flights around 5 p.m. on Thursday. The impact of this announcement is yet to be assessed,” said a senior official of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
A decision on opening a passage for flights overflying Pakistan and entering India is yet to be taken.
