New Delhi, Nov 3: Pakistan has denied the use of its airspace for operation of direct flight from Srinagar to Sharjah. Union home minister Amit Shah had formally launched the international flight on October 23 during his visit to Jammu and Kashmir. Former J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted “Very unfortunate. Pakistan did the same thing with the Air India Express flight from Srinagar to Dubai in 2009-2010. I had hoped that @GoFirstairways  being permitted to overfly Pak airspace was indicative of a thaw in relations but alas that wasn’t to be,”. The denial of use of Pakistan airspace will increase the time of the flight by around 45 minutes. This will also result in increase of ticket cost. “ Puzzling that GOI didn’t even bother securing permission from Pakistan to use its airspace for international flights from Srinagar. Only PR extravaganza without any groundwork,” tweeted former Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti.
