Border clashes shut Pakistan's airspace and north Indian airports
FlughtGlobal ^ | 27 February, 2019 | Aaron Chong

Pakistan's civil aviation authority has confirmed the closure of its airspace, while its Indian counterpart has barred all flights from eight northern airports, amid clashes between the nations' forces in the disputed Kashmir region.

India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation issued a NOTAM barring flights in and out of Amritsar, Jammu, Kangra, Kullu Manali, Kushok Bakula, Pathankot, Rimpochee, Shimla and Srinajar "due to operational reasons", shortly before 11:30 local time.

IndiGo, Vistara and SpiceJet have confirmed suspensions of flights to the affected airports. In IndiGo's case, Chandigarh and Dehradun join Amritsar, Jammu and Srinajar among the airports from which flights have been halted.

The Indian NOTAM comes amid conflict between India and Pakistan, after the Indian air force entered Pakistan-controlled territory in the disputed Kashmir region on 26 February and attacked a suspected terrorist-training camp.

Pakistan's government today said its air force had shot down two Indian aircraft inside Pakistani airspace.

About 190(million) muslims within India borders. Talk about the enemy within..


That’s one of those funny little things I’ve noticed about Islam. Millions of Muslims are living (more or less) undisturbed in India. How many Hindus in Pakistan? Thousands of Arab Muslims in Israel, Jews living in PLO controlled areas—zero. Jews living in Saudi Arabia? For a “religion of peace”, Islam doesn’t seem to play well with others.

No dog in that fight.

Agreed.

Like Andy Griffith and Don Knotts, let’s stay on the porch, strum the guitar softly and sing a few old tunes in harmony.

We have given too much blood and treasure sacrificed.

Muslims, Pakistani Muslims and Indians will have to take care of themselves. Such children should never, ever have been allowed to bring nuclear toys into their playpens. Too dangerous.

Like the Monroe Doctrine of 1823?
Or just the Northern Hemisphere, probably. North of our Wall (oh, yeah, it doesn’t exist yet.)
