Pakistan Fully Restores Airspace Following US-Brokered Ceasefire with India

Pakistan has fully reopened its airspace for all types of flight operations following a mutual ceasefire agreement with India, confirmed by both countries’ top officials and facilitated through US diplomatic mediation.

A spokesperson for the Pakistan Airports Authority announced on Saturday that all airports across the country are now operating normally. “All airports are available for regular flight operations,” the statement said, urging passengers to check flight schedules directly with their respective airlines.

Pakistan had earlier closed its airspace for all civilian and commercial flights until 12:00 noon on May 11 in response to heightened tensions following Indian missile attacks on multiple Pakistani airbases.

The move to restore airspace came shortly after Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar confirmed that Pakistan and India agreed to an immediate ceasefire. In a televised interview, Dar stated that Pakistan responded to Indian aggression with “dignity and strength” and is now committed to peace without compromising on national sovereignty.

In a significant diplomatic development, US President Donald Trump took to social media to announce that the ceasefire was brokered with American mediation. “India and Pakistan have agreed to an immediate ceasefire under US mediation. Congratulations to both countries for showing wisdom and prudence,” Trump said in his post.

The confirmation was echoed by Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Masri, who said that military operations from both sides will be halted in accordance with the ceasefire understanding.

The reopening of Pakistan’s airspace is a crucial step in the normalization process, allowing for the resumption of domestic and international travel, and signaling a hopeful turn toward de-escalation in the region.

Aviation experts say that the swift restoration of air connectivity will minimize disruptions to global travel routes and regional business activities.
