Amid rising tensions with India, the Pakistan Airports Authority has issued a fresh Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), closing multiple air routes in Lahore’s airspace for commercial flights. The affected routes include J-186, J-165, and J-139, with the closure set to last for 24 hours due to “operational reasons.”
While airspace restrictions have been enforced over Lahore, authorities confirmed that flight operations at Islamabad Airport have been fully restored. However, inbound flights to Islamabad will require prior coordination and clearance from Air Traffic Control (ATC) before landing.

The situation continues to evolve, with authorities closely monitoring developments to ensure aviation safety across the country.
