The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has rejected India's complaint against Pakistan's refusal to allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use its airspace, First comment<\/em> reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n According to the media, ICAO said that flights carrying national leaders are considered "state aircraft" and are not subject to the agency's provisions.<\/p>\n The Indian government requested permission from Pakistan to use the country's airspace on October 28 for the Indian Prime Minister, who visits Saudi Arabia to participate in an international business conference.<\/p>\n Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi announced on Sunday that Islamabad had denied New Delhi's request.<\/p>\n Qureshi, in a statement, had said that the decision was taken in the context of Black Day and "in view of the continuing serious violations of human rights in the occupied Jammu and Kashmir."<\/p>\n In response to India's complaint, First comment<\/em> The ICAO spokesperson said: "The Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), in which ICAO helps governments cooperate, only applies to civil aircraft operations and not to state or military aircraft."<\/p>\n "Flights that carry national leaders are considered state aircraft and, therefore, are not subject to ICAO provisions," the spokesman added.<\/p>\n This was not the first time that Pakistan denied India's request to use its airspace. In September, the government also denied India's request that Modi use Pakistani airspace for its flight to Germany.<\/p>\n The request came at a time of high tension between Pakistan and India following the decision of the Indian government to unilaterally revoke article 370 of its constitution, which granted special autonomy to occupied Kashmir. A blackout of communications and strong restrictions on movement imposed by the Indian authorities since the eve of this development have been in effect almost three months ago.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n Source: https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1513589\/aviation-body-rejects-indias-complaint-against-pakistan-for-denying-modi-use-of-airspace-report<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has rejected India's complaint against Pakistan's refusal to allow Prime Minister Narendra Modi to use its airspace, First comment reported Tuesday.
