In a surprising development, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plane has once again traversed Pakistani airspace without formal permission on its return journey from the United States, aviation sources reported on Wednesday. This incident marks a continuation of a trend where Indian flights have utilized this route, despite the historically tense relations between the two nations.
While such maneuvers may streamline travel for high-level officials, they raise questions about diplomatic protocols and airspace agreements. The Indian government has not yet issued a statement addressing the implications of this flight path or the absence of prior consent.
Analysts suggest that this incident could reflect a pragmatic approach to aviation logistics, but it may also reignite discussions about airspace sovereignty and bilateral relations. Further details are expected as officials from both countries review the situation.
