Can't Pakistani airliner flyover indian territory just as indian does over pak airspace?

Or is that another failure of pak?

They both can. Sanctions on India ended a while back and Indian airlines are allowed to fly over now.

IINW domestic Indian flights to Amritsar do briefly enter Pak airspace as standard approach into the airport, maybe same for Lahore/Pak bound traffic to maneuver and cross into Indian airspace.

Not a 100% on it but could be.. more informed aviation people might know the details.

The whole news report is wrong.
PK248 was from Dammam and no way is a pilot going to lose his way on a freaking 777. Looking at the route, it looks like it was cleared to enter Indian airspace to go around the storm.

Amateur journalism.

here is normal report from avi herald

This is my biggest fear flying into Lahore, they fly so close to the border but luckily I rarely fly PIA or any other Pakistani airlines. It’s always Etihad emirates Qatar or Turkey for me. I did fly air blue during the pandemic in 2021 (has no other choice and needed to get to Pakistan) from Dubai. My views didn’t change and the whole I was praying that we don’t crash.
