Pakistan Closes Airspace to Taiwan Airlines Under One-China Policy
· World · Bloomberg, India Today, NDTV
Pakistan has barred carriers from Taiwan from using its airspace in line with Beijing's One-China policy. The move marks the first time any country has taken such a step against Taiwanese airlines. Bloomberg reported the development on Monday. The decision aligns Pakistan with China's diplomatic stance that Taiwan is part of its territory. No Taiwanese carrier currently operates scheduled flights to Pakistan. The broader impact on regional aviation routes remains unclear.
Why it matters
The closure signals deepening Pakistan-China alignment and could pressure other nations to restrict Taiwan's aviation access, affecting airlines and travellers across Asia.
