Pakistan on Saturday indicated that it may lift the airspace ban along its eastern border with India, imposed on February 27 after the Balakot airstrke, to reciprocate IAF’s decision to remove all restrictions on all air routes in the Indian airspace.
Reacting to India’s decision, a senior official of thePakistan government said, “Once the Indian government lifts the airrestriction on Pakistani flights, Pakistan is likely to reciprocate it.”
The official told PTI that India has yet to inform Pakistanabout lifting of airspace ban for its flights.”We only heard about this through the mediaas no communication in this respect has taken place as yet. We may follow thesuit once India lifts air restrictions on our flights,” he said.
