News that Pak had withdrawn permission to use its airspace emerged Wednesday, after which the Civil Aviation, Foreign Affairs and Home ministries were notified
The government has asked Pakistan to reconsider its decision to close airspace to a Srinagar-Sharjah direct flight, sources said Thursday, noting that the issue had been raised via diplomatic channels. ३१ अक्टूबर से ३० नवंबर २०२१ तक इसे होल्ड पर रख दिया। अब भारत ने कूटनीतिक चैनल के ज़रिए ये मसला पाकिस्तान के सामने उठाया है।
Sources said the government had urged Pakistan to reconsider its decision because the flight is "in the interests of the people". Pakistan had allowed the first four flights - on October 23, 24, 26 and 28 - to fly over its territory, but then revoked permission for a month starting October 30.
The flight in question - operated by Go First (formerly GoAir) - was launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir last month. That was Mr Shah's first visit to J&K since he led the government's charge to scrap the controversial Article 370 through Parliament.
