The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has reassured the public and international stakeholders that all airports across the country are fully functional, and the national airspace remains safe for civil aviation operations.
In an official statement released on Wednesday, the PAA confirmed that both domestic and international flights are being operated smoothly, with no disruption in scheduled air services. The authority emphasized that the peaceful and uninterrupted flow of local and international commercial flights is being actively ensured.
“All airports in Pakistan are fully operational,” the spokesperson said, adding that Sialkot International Airport, which had seen a temporary pause in operations, has also been completely restored for all inbound and outbound flights.
“Air operations have resumed at Sialkot, and all international flights will proceed as per schedule.”
The airports authority further advised passengers to verify flight timings with their respective airlines before heading to the airport, ensuring a seamless travel experience amid the current security environment.
However, the authority strongly condemned India’s recent irresponsible actions, saying they have posed serious threats to civil aviation in the region. Pakistan has officially informed the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) of these developments and the potential risks to commercial aviation safety.
In a key update, the Lahore airspace has also been fully reopened. The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) that temporarily closed air routes J139, J165, and J186 has now been cancelled, restoring full aviation access in and out of the region.
“Our national airspace is available and fully secure for civil aviation,” the PAA spokesperson reaffirmed.
