UN aviation body seeks details from Pak on denial of airspace to Modi’s flight
NEW DELHI : The International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) has sought information from Pakistan on the denial of airspace use to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s special flight to Saudi Arabia on Monday.
India had taken up the matter with the ICAO as denial of airspace had led to the Prime Minister’s flight taking a detour on his way to Saudi Arabia, where he will attend an investor summit on Tuesday and hold bilateral meetings with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.
ICAO’s Council President Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu “has acknowledged the letter from India and has sent an official request to Pakistan requesting further information”, the UN aviation body informed Mint in response to an emailed query.
