Latest Kashmir Crisis Threatens Pakistani Airspace Closure
Pakistan’s airspace may close again, after reopening in July following five months of disruption.

The amendment to the Indian constitution on August 6 that revoked special autonomy status to Muslim-dominated Kashmir has raised tensions between India and Pakistan and appears likely to lead to the closure of Pakistani airspace once again.

Now, airlines have begun plans to again reroute flights over Pakistan to and from India.
