Islamabad: The national flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has directed all its captains and flight operations to avoid Iranian airspace following the missile attack on Israel.

"The flight plans are being revised to avoid using Iranian airspace," a PIA spokesperson stated.

"Iranian airspace will not be used until the situation is clear," the spokesperson added.

“PIA uses two corridors in Iranian airspace. The northern corridor is used for flights to Canada and Turkiye, while the southern corridor is used for destinations like UAE, Bahrain, Doha, and Saudi Arabia,” the spokesperson added.
