Pak won't open its airspace for PM's flight to US

Pakistan has turned down an overflight request by India for Prime Minister Modi's upcoming US trip. This request, according to officials, is as per protocol, since Air India One is not a commercial flight but a VIP one. The longer route that AI One will now take will increase the flying time for the Delhi-Frankfurt (fuelling halt for onward flight to Houston) leg of AI One by 45-50 minutes.
