Flights have also been resumed for Bahawalpur, Raheem Yar Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan.Flights from Sialkot will resume from March 28, after necessary repairs are carried out on the Sialkot airport runway, it said.
Earlier in February, the CAA partially opened the country's airspace after keeping it closed for several hours following a rare aerial dogfight between Indian and Pakistani jets.
The CAA had also declared an aerial emergency, saying Pakistani airspace is closed until further notice.
Pakistan closed its airspace on February 27 following escalating tensions with India.
The tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbours escalated after the February 14 Pulwama terror attack and a subsequent aerial strike by India on a JeM training camp in Balakot on February 26.
Pakistan retaliated the strike next day by unsuccessfully attempting to target Indian military installations. The JeM claimed responsibility for the Pulwama attack.
