As of Friday afternoon during Asian hours, planes were flying around Pakistan, with a large number of them going over the Persian Gulf, according flight tracking website Flightradar24.com.
Pakistan's escalating conflict with India this week disrupted commercial aviation after the country shut down its air space on Wednesday, forcing several international airlines to cancel or reroute their flights.
The representative pointed CNBC to the agency's website and added,"We're waiting for further orders." No further details were available on the agency's website. Pakistan is an important corridor for planes flying between Asia and Europe and the Middle East, meaning the closure of its air space affects hundreds of flights.
Pakistan's air space consists of two so-called Flight Information Regions, Karachi and Lahore, which are different from political boundaries, Flightradar24 said in a post.Singapore Airlines said on Wednesday that its Europe-bound flights, which typically pass through Pakistani air space, from the city-state will stop either in Dubai or in Mumbai to refuel.
