In an official announcement on Saturday, the PAA stated: “Pakistan’s airspace has been completely reopened for all types of flights. All airports across the country are now available for normal flight operations.” Passengers have been urged to contact their respective airlines to confirm updated schedules as services resume.
The move follows a full ceasefire agreement reached between Islamabad and New Delhi, temporarily halting the cycle of cross-border military strikes that had prompted national security concerns and led to a partial airspace shutdown.
The reopening is expected to ease pressure on domestic and international carriers, with major airports including Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Sialkot now resuming full operations. The resumption comes as a relief to thousands of stranded travelers and signals a cautiously optimistic step toward diplomatic de-escalation.
While the airspace reopening marks progress, aviation and foreign affairs officials continue to monitor the situation closely amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.
