Earlier, on March 14, PAA issued a NOTAM announcing the temporary closure of six sectors of the Lahore Flight Information Region on March 16, during which commercial flights will be unable to land or take off at Islamabad airport.

On March 2, the PAA decided to suspend certain air routes within the Karachi and Lahore Flight Information Regions (FIRs) as well, during specified hours.

These developments came amid the regional conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which has left air operations in many countries, including Pakistan, severely disrupted. Along with commercial flights, air cargo services were also suspended.
