Breaking News: Pakistan denies airspace to Indigo flight in emergency situation | ABP NEWS

An Indigo flight traveling from Delhi to Srinagar on Wednesday experienced severe turbulence, prompting the pilot to seek an emergency route for safety. In a critical situation, the pilot requested permission from Lahore Air Traffic Control to use Pakistan's airspace to stabilize the aircraft. However, Pakistan denied the request, refusing to grant access to its airspace even under emergency conditions. The denial has sparked criticism and is being viewed as a shameful move by Pakistan, especially as the request was made purely on humanitarian and safety grounds. The incident has once again brought attention to Pakistan’s rigid stance on airspace usage, even during emergencies involving civilian flights from neighboring countries.
