Pakistan has extended its ban on Indian civilian and military aircraft using its airspace for another month, with the restriction now set to remain in force until July 24, according to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) on Wednesday.

Under the latest NOTAM, Pakistan’s airspace will remain closed to all Indian-registered aircraft, as well as planes operated, owned or leased by Indian airlines and operators, including military aircraft.

The restriction will take effect from 5:50 p.m. on Wednesday and remain valid until 4:59 a.m. on July 24. The previous extension of the ban was scheduled to expire on June 24.

The latest move means Indian airlines and military flights will continue to be barred from operating through Pakistani airspace amid ongoing tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

Pakistan and India shut their airspaces to each other’s airlines in late April 2025 after relations deteriorated following a deadly attack in Pahalgam in Indian-occupied Kashmir.

On April 24, Pakistan’s leadership announced a series of retaliatory measures against New Delhi, including the immediate closure of its airspace to all India-owned and Indian-operated aircraft.

India accused Pakistan of supporting the Pahalgam attack, a claim Islamabad rejected, while calling for an independent and neutral investigation into the incident.

The two nuclear-armed neighbours later witnessed their most intense aerial confrontation in May, during which Pakistan had shot down seven Indian fighter jets.
