KARACHI: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced closing airspace over the northern areas of the country on Sunday, forcing the Pakistan International Airlines to reschedule its flights to Gilgit, Skardu and Kabul.

This is the second time in four days that the CAA has close the airspace over the northern areas without assigning any reason. The last time the airspace was closed on Wednesday.

Responding to Dawn queries, PIA spokesperson Danyal Gilani said that times of the flights had been revised.

Islamabad-Skardu flight (PK 451) will depart at 5.15am and Skardu-Islamabad flight (PK 452) will depart at 7am. Islamabad-Kabul flight (PK 249) will depart at 8.50am and Kabul-Islamabad flight (PK 452) will depart at 10.45am.

The spokesperson said the revised flight timings were only for one day.

Ohh i thought that india might be saving some planes for emergency situation because this is what The Economist Revealed couple of days back :
According to The Economist, India’s land, air and naval forces lack communication. It added that most of India’s firepower looks great only on the paper. It added that though with 2000 aircrafts Indian air force is the 4th largest of the world, only 60% of its jets are able to fly.

Even if your nonsensical post had some substance then what made Agni Pankh crap in it's pants.

The airspace is only closed in one particular sector due to heavy activity which in any case probably experiences one or two flights daily.
