The Pakistan Airports Authority said Tuesday that Pakistan’s airspace remains fully open and safe for all civil aviation, rejecting media reports of a “partial closure” for commercial flights.
Air traffic services and airport operations are continuing without restrictions on arrivals, departures, or overflights, the authority said, terming reports of limitations “incorrect and misleading.”
The clarification follows NOTAM A0134/26, referencing A0130/26, which the PAA described as a routine operational advisory. The notice covers the temporary unavailability of specific ATS route segments within the Karachi and Lahore Flight Information Regions from March 3 to March 31, during daily windows from 0900 to 1500 PKT. The affected segments are closed from ground level to unlimited altitude for standard operational reasons.
Alternative routing options remain available and are being used as required to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow, the authority said, adding that controllers and airport teams are managing operations normally.
The PAA urged media and social media users to rely on official statements to avoid unnecessary concern among passengers and the public.
