India has allowed Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's aircraft to use Indian Air Space, according to informed sources.

Imran Khan will be travelling to Sri Lanka on his maiden visit on February 23.

India took up the denial of permission to VVIP flight with an International Civil Aviation Organisation.
