DOHA (Kashmir English): Al Jazeera issued a correction on Twitter after its earlier report falsely claimed that Pakistan had temporarily closed its airspace.
The Al Jazeera network clarified that Pakistan has imposed no restrictions on air travel, following widespread attention and criticism.
Earlier, the claim of the international media outlet (Al Jazeera) regarding the partial closure of the airspace of Pakistan was rejected by the Pakistan Airport Authority. It has been confirmed that the airspace of Pakistan will remain completely open in March.
In the statement issued by the PAA, the authorities stressed, “Pakistan’s airspace as a whole remains fully open, safe, and completely available for all civil aviation traffic, including commercial flights.
“Air traffic services continue without hindrance, and alternative routing options are available and routinely used for all affected flows.
“No restrictions have been imposed on commercial operations, arrivals, departures, or overflights across Pakistan. Our air traffic controllers and airport teams are fully operational and managing traffic normally.
It has been confirmed that the routes were closed “from ground level (GND) to unlimited altitude (UNL) for standard operational reasons.”
