Pakistan considering closing air space to India: Minister
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan is considering a complete closure of air space to India and blocking Indian land trade to Afghanistan via Pakistan, according to the Pakistani minister for science and technology.
“PM is considering a complete closure of Air Space to India, a complete ban on use of Pakistan Land routes for Indian trade to Afghanistan was also suggested in cabinet meeting, legal formalities for these decisions are under consideration … #Modi has started we’ll finish!,” Fawad Chaudhry wrote on Twitter.
The tweet gave no more details on why Pakistan would be considering the moves against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government now.
Pakistan had reopened its airspace in mid-July after almost five months after closing it in the wake of a military standoff with India.
The months of restrictions forced long detours that cost airlines millions of dollars.
