Heightened tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed Kashmir and Jammu regions have led to sporadic skirmishing along the border between the two countries in recent days and weeks.


Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority confirmed on Wednesday morning it had shut its airspace “until further notice”.

Eurocontrol said it was working with more than 40 airlines operating in Europe to address the issue and alleviate disruption.
