PM Modi's special plane will bypass Pak airspace en route to Kyrgyzstan

In a clear snub to Islamabad, New Delhi on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's special plane will bypass Pakistan's airspace en route to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan where he is going on Thursday to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit.

External Affairs Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said the VVIP aircraft will fly via Oman, Iran and the Central Asian countries on way to Bishkek.
