In the wake of soaring tension between Pakistan and India, the Civil Aviation Authority announced a complete suspension of flight operations for all domestic and international airlines across Pakistan on Feb 27.
Lately, the hostile situation has been gradually diluting between the two neighbouring countries , therefore, the CAA has resumed flight operations countrywide except Rahim Yar Khan, Sialkot, Skardu, Gilgit and Sukkur.Indian media had also reported suspension of flights in occupied Kashmir and India's Punjab having border with Pakistan.
The civilian air traffic was also suspended at Srinagar airport as Pakistan and India were involved in a rare aerial standoff in February's last week. NNI
