As per the NOTAM, all international flights have been asked to avoid the three aviation routes in the Karachi airspace and an alternate route has been suggested by the authority.
The decision to shut airspace comes two days after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said that they will go to any extent for Kashmir and Islamabad is not afraid of using its nuclear powers for Kashmir.
