Amid escalating regional tensions, Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has abruptly closed airspace over Lahore and Sialkot, disrupting both domestic and international flight operations. Affected flights have been rerouted to Karachi.
The closure was confirmed via an official Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), just hours after flight operations had briefly resumed in the region. Renewed security concerns prompted the immediate suspension.
