Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plane once again entered Pakistani airspace while returning from the United States, according to aviation sources.
The aircraft reportedly crossed into Pakistani airspace from Afghanistan over Chitral at around 5:30 AM and remained within the airspace for approximately 46 minutes before entering Indian territory near Lahore.
This follows a similar occurrence just three days earlier when Modi’s plane also utilized Pakistani airspace on his way to the US, where he attended the Quad Leaders’ Summit. According to aviation sources, Modi departed from Delhi early on Saturday morning en route to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the summit by US President Joe Biden.
During this trip, his special plane, ‘India One,’ spent around 45 minutes in Pakistan’s airspace. The plane crossed into Afghan airspace from Chitral at 05:35 AM, passing over Hafizabad, Chakwal, Islamabad, and Mardan at an altitude of 36,000 feet.
Despite frequent use of Pakistan’s airspace, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not issued any messages of goodwill to the Pakistani government or people, contrary to international diplomatic norms. This is not the first time Modi has used Pakistani airspace for his travels, as similar instances have occurred several times in the past.
