Airspace Warnings Issued as India-Pakistan Conflict Rises
Security experts warn of dangers of civil aircraft shootdowns
Osprey Flight Solutions airspace warning
Osprey Flight Solutions has issued a warning highlighting airspace risks from ongoing military conflict between Pakistan and India.

Pakistan’s government closed its airspace in the early hours today in response to the escalating military conflict with India. The initial 48-hour closure had already been anticipated by multiple scheduled airlines, which have been avoiding the country’s airspace, as well as some parts of northwestern India, since the Indian Air Force started bombing what it said were terrorist bases in Pakistan and parts of Kashmir.

As India’s Operation Sindoor was getting underway on Tuesday evening, the government banned all Pakistan-registered aircraft from its airspace. Last week, Pakistan’s government closed its airspace to Indian-registered aircraft, saying that it had “credible information” about imminent military action. On Wednesday, it claimed that 57 international flights had been operating in the country’s airspace when the Indian air strikes began.
