The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) has once again shut down Lahore and Sialkot airspace for commercial flights due to heightened security risks following escalating tensions with India.
Late Wednesday, the PCAA issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), confirming the closure of seven major air routes. Officials stated that Lahore and Sialkot airspace will remain off-limits until at least 12:00 PM Thursday.
With the situation rapidly evolving, travelers are advised to stay in close contact with their airlines for real-time schedule changes. The PCAA warned that further disruptions are possible if regional tensions continue to rise.
This latest move comes after Pakistan shot down an Indian drone near Gujranwala earlier this morning. Both nations have maintained high military alertness since India’s Operation Sindoor, raising fears of further escalation.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, but no additional details have been released yet. Passengers should expect delays and cancellations until normal operations resume.
