Pak Refuses Airspace Permission For New Srinagar-Sharjah Direct Flight
12:31PM Wed 3 Nov, 2021

- Srinagar-Sharjah Flight: Re-routing of flights from Srinagar to the United Arab Emirates (to ensure it doesn't cross Pakistani airspace) adds over an hour of flying time, raising fuel and ticket costs
Pakistan has, however, been allowing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use its airspace. Most recently the Prime Minister's plane crossed Pak airspace to and from Europe, when he was attending the G20 and COP26 summits in Italy and Scotland, respectively. And in September, when the PM flew to the United States, his flight was also allowed to use Pak airspace. (Source: NDTV)Regarding the Srinagar-Sharjah flight that has been announced today - has Pakistan had a change of heart & allowed flights originating from Srinagar to use its airspace? If not then this flight will die the way the Srinagar-Dubai flight died during UPA2.
