Pakistan put in place a multi-layered air security plan to bring an Iranian delegation into Islamabad for talks with the United States, an aviation official said. A Pakistani commercial aircraft flew alongside the Iranian plane, drawing attention on civilian radar, while the Iranian aircraft moved without standard identification signals. An official told PTI that preparations began before the aircraft entered Pakistani airspace, with the Pakistan Air Force on alert during the journey. “The Pakistani air traffic controllers were informed in advance that the aircraft's transponder would remain switched off.
