Srinagar: The refusal of airspace by Pakistan will not affect direct flights between Srinagar and Sharjah, J & K BJP President Ravinder Raina said on Friday.
Speaking to reporters in Srinagar, Raina flights will continue between Srinagar and Sharjah, the only difference is they will take a longer route.
“A few days ago News Minister Union Amit Shah visited Srinagar and the runaway was immediately inaugurated between Srinagar and Sharjah, but it was very disappointing that Pakistan had closed the airspace which proved that it was the biggest enemy of Kashmir,” Raina said.
“Flight operations will continue.
Flights will not use Pakistani airspace but take a longer route – from Srinagar to Delhi, Delhi to Mumbai and Mumbai to Sharjah.
But Pakistan’s actions and intentions have become clear in front of the world.” Pakistan has not allowed the use of airspace for Srinagar-Sharjah direct flights which was inaugurated by the Ministers of Union Amit Shah on October 23.
