Pakis­tan has reopened its airspace for all types of flig­hts as tensions eased with India following a ceasefire agreement, but the return to normal flight schedule is likely to take some time.

The normalisation of flight operations is expected to take time as passenger aircraft and other equipment were shifted to safe locations as a precaution during escalating tensions between Pakistan and India.

Officials have said the aircraft are being brought back to the operational area for routine operations.

The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has also resumed flight operations following the reopening of the airspace.

Passengers who had returned to their homes or hotels are being contacted to return to the airport. The disruption of flight operations for days stranded hundreds of travellers in Pakistan and abroad.
