Pakistan reopens airspace for all civilian traffic
Pakistan lifted the ban on the use of its airspace for all civilian flights to and from India shortly after midnight on 15 July, six months after imposing restrictions following the Balakot strikes.
"Pakistan canceled the notam (notice to airmen) for its airspace with effect from 00h 38 IST, the consecutive notams of India having also been canceled. Airlines are likely to resume normal routes through Pakistan's airspace, "said a government official in New Delhi.
The Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul was the first airline to use the reopened route a few hours after the official announcement by Pakistan's civil aviation authorities. This development is a relief for passengers who have had to travel longer and have paid exorbitant rates, as flights have made a detour to avoid Pakistan.
Pakistan had completely closed its airspace on Feb. 26 after the Indian Air Force (IAF) struck a terrorist training camp at Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Balakot, in retaliation for the attack on Iraq. Pulwama of 14 February. Since then, the neighboring country has only opened two roads, both crossing the southern region, out of a total of 11. For its part, the IAF had announced on May 31 that any temporary restrictions imposed to Indian airspace after Balakot's strike had been suppressed. However, most commercial airliners did not benefit and they were waiting for Pakistan to fully open its airspace.
In India, Air India, which operates various international flights from Delhi to Europe and the United States, has been the hardest hit. The national airline lost 491 million crore until 2 July due to the closure of Pakistan's airspace. Private airlines SpiceJet, IndiGo and GoAir lost 30.73 crore, 25.1 crore and 2.1 crore respectively, according to data presented by Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in Rajya Sabha on July 3
