Pakistan extends its airspace ban on Indian civilian, military aircraft for another month
Islamabad : Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on Indian civilian and military aircraft for another month, until Aug 23, according to a notice to Airmen (Notam) issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) today.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the previous restriction was due to expire on July 24.
“Pakistan airspace not available for Indian-registered aircraft and aircraft operated or leased by Indian airlines/operators, including military flights,” the Notam said.
According to the Notam, the restriction will remain in force until 11:59pm on August 23, 2026.
India and Pakistan closed their airspaces to each other’s airlines in late April 2025, when tensions between them escalated in the wake of a deadly attack in Pahalgam, Indian illegally occupied Kashmir.
New Delhi, without evidence, had alleged that Islamabad backed the attack; however, Pakistan had strongly denied any involvement and offered a neutral probe.
