ISLAMABAD-<\/strong> In a startling incident, a Pakistan International Airlines (PK) flight, PIA308, unexpectedly veered into the airspace of India on Monday evening (24 July 2023), raising concerns among aviation authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On its way from Karachi to Islamabad, the aircraft encountered adverse weather conditions shortly after takeoff at 4:31 PM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FlightRadar24 data shows that flight PK308 was operated using an Airbus A320 painted in InterJet Livery, registered as AP-BOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the sudden deterioration in weather, the flight deviated from its intended route and unintentionally crossed into Indian airspace at 5:02 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After departing from Karachi in Pakistan, the airplane entered Indian territory through Rajasthan. It continued to fly over the states of Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab for approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes before re-entering Pakistani airspace from Punjab at 6:14 PM, reported OneIndia<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time that a Pakistani aircraft or Indian plane has invaded the airspace of opposite countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pakistani 777 Enters Indian Airspace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pakistani Boeing 777 belonging to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)<\/a> attempted to land at the Lahore Airport during a downpour and spent 10 minutes in Indian airspace before returning to Pakistan after flying 125 kilometers over Punjab, according to media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 8 p.m. on May 4, when Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)\u2018s flight PK-248 arrived in Lahore from Muscat, it was pouring severely. At 8:05 p.m., the pilot attempted to land the Boeing 777 at Allama Iqbal International Airport. But the plane grew unstable and was unable to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane crossed into Pakistani territory and flew to Multan, passing over Hujra Shah Muqeem and Dipalpur. According to the siasat<\/em>, the aircraft covered 120 kilometers in 10 minutes in Indian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from this, IndiGo (6E)<\/a>, India’s largest carrier, last month and this month entered Pakistani airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo Unexpected Visits to Pakistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amritsar to Ahmedabad deviated into Pakistan<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of adverse weather conditions on June 19, an IndiGo (6E) Airlines flight traveling from Amritsar to Ahmedabad deviated into Pakistan airspace near Lahore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It proceeded to Gujranwala before returning to Indian airspace at approximately 8 p.m. on Saturday, as reported by Dawn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Dawn\u2019s report, a senior official from the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) mentioned that such deviations were not uncommon during inclement weather and were permitted internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srinagar to Jammu Flight Diverted to Amritsar over Pakistani Airspace<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 9, 2023, IndiGo Srinagar (SXR) to Jammu (IXJ) flight diverted to Amritsar (ATQ) after flying in Pakistani Airspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diversion occurred due to poor weather. But, strangely, the 6E flight diverted to a longer alternate aerodrome instead of returning back to SXR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the flight made many holding patterns near ATQ before landing at 4:52 PM local time. In conclusion, this flight showed some very strange behaviors, and we are waiting to get the official statement from IndiGo and DGCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
