The incident comes just a few months after a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight entered Indian airspace for nearly 10 minutes in May 2023. That flight, which was carrying 178 passengers and crew, entered Indian airspace at around 1:30 pm and returned to Pakistani airspace at around 1:40 pm.
Both incidents are being investigated by the respective governments.
The cause of the snag is not yet known.
These incidents highlight the importance of safety in air travel. Airlines and governments must work together to ensure that all flights are operated safely and that passengers are protected.
