Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban for Indian Aircraft

Pakistan on Wednesday extended its airspace ban for Indian aircraft by another month till January 23. 

Pakistan closed its airspace to India's airlines in April after the Pahalgam attack. India too has imposed a similar ban on Pakistan. 

The previous extension was set to expire on December 24 but the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) extended the restrictions on



Wednesday till January 23.

"Pakistan airspace will remain closed to Indian-registered aircraft, including all aircraft owned, operated, or leased by Indian airlines, as well as Indian military flights," the PAA said. 

According to the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen), the restriction, which has already been in force, "will continue until January 23, 2026, as per the specified timings."
