PIA Suspends Skardu, Gilgit and Chitral Flights Due to Air Space Closure
According to Geo News, PIA has suspended September 21 flights for Skardu, Gilgit and Chitral due to air space closure.
Maybe air space closed due to some military air exercise?

The Indian media is asking for Pakistani blood and expecting a quick military strike across the Line of Control.
Maybe increased military activity in the area lead to closure of the airspace.

Airforce is performing War Formations in Northern Sector, seems like threats from India are being taken seriously or maybe our Signal Intelligence picked up some movement or build up of Formations...

Probably airspace closure was due to PAF aircraft participation in exercise Highmark 2016.
