Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on Indian aircraft for another month, with the restriction now set to remain in place until July 24.
The extension was announced through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority. The previous restriction was due to expire on June 24.
Under the latest NOTAM, Pakistan’s airspace will remain closed to all Indian-registered aircraft. The ban also applies to aircraft operated, owned, or leased by Indian airlines and operators, including military flights.
The airspace restrictions have disrupted Indian carriers, forcing them to take longer routes for flights to Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, resulting in higher fuel expenses and extended travel times.
Pakistan and India have kept their airspaces closed to each other’s carriers since late April 2025, following heightened tensions after a deadly attack in the Pahalgam area of Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
