Islamabad, May 6 (UNI) Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, international airlines are avoiding using the Pakistani airspace for travel, following the Pahalgam massacre which led to 26 tourist casualties.
Air France said it has suspended flights over Islamabad’s airspace until further notice because of the “recent evolution of tensions between India and Pakistan”, in a statement to CNN.
The airline is “adapting its flight schedule and flight plans to and from certain destinations", the French flag carrier said, adding some routes will require longer flight times.
