India Extends Airspace Closure For Pakistan Planes Till Sept 24

India has extended the closure of its airspace for Pakistani planes until September 24. This comes just days after Islamabad issued a similar order, extending the closure for Indian planes until the same date.

Both countries have issued separate Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) extending the airspace closures. A NOTAM is a notice containing information that is



essential for personnel involved in flight operations.

India closed its airspace to planes operated, owned, or leased by Pakistan airlines and operators, including military flights, effective April 30, after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22 resulted in the deaths of 26 people in the Jammu and Kashmir resort town. The airspace has since remained closed.
