Pakistan Airports Authority spokesperson Saifullah Khan told Dawn.com that all airports across Pakistan are open, and flight cancellations are at the discretion of each airline.

Yesterday, Emirates said it was suspending flight operations across Pakistan until May 10 “due to ongoing uncertainty surrounding access to the country’s airspace and airports.”

Qatar Airways has also suspended flight operations to and from both Pakistan and India.

Outbound and inbound flights from Doha to Lahore, Islamabad, Multan, Peshawar, Sialkot and Amritsar are suspended on May 8, 9 and 10, the airline said in a post on X.
