Pakistan extends airspace ban for Indian aircrafts by one month

1 min read

Pakistan has decided to extend the closure of its airspace for Indian aircraft for another month. The decision will be formally announced through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) to be issued later today.

Pakistan had initially closed its airspace to Indian aircraft on April 24, and the restriction was first extended for a month on May 23. The current NOTAM is set to expire today, but authorities have decided to prolong the airspace closure for an additional month.

The NOTAM will outline specific details regarding the continued ban on Indian air traffic, which was originally imposed due to ongoing tensions between the two countries. The restriction aims to ensure the safety and security of Pakistan’s airspace.

While the ban will apply to Indian aircraft, Pakistan’s airspace will remain open for all other international flights.

The closure has caused routing challenges for Indian aircraft, forcing them to take longer alternate paths.
