An Air India flight from Delhi to Amritsar briefly entered Pakistani airspace on June 22 while attempting to land at Amritsar, the DGCA said.
According to the aviation regulator, the aircraft was placed in a holding pattern after a bird strike triggered a runway inspection. During radar-guided approach procedures, the flight temporarily crossed into Pakistani airspace.
The incident was immediately communicated to Pakistan's Air Traffic Control (ATC) and coordinated through established protocols. The flight was later diverted back to Delhi, where it landed safely.
The DGCA said interim action has been taken against the concerned Air Traffic Controller in Amritsar and the operating crew for failing to report the incident
