Let us tell you that this year, Pakistan opened its airspace to India on July 16 after a ban of about 5 months in view of the deadlock with India. Pakistan closed its airspace on 26 February following the Balakot air action.

Last month, Pakistan denied Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s use of his airfield for his VVIP aircraft in the wake of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia.
