Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban on Indian Aircraft Until October 24, 2026
Pakistan has extended its ban on Indian aircraft using its airspace until October 24, 2026, as per a Notice to Airmen issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority. The restriction applies to all Indian-registered and operated aircraft, including military flights, across Pakistan's Karachi and Lahore flight information regions. This ban follows reciprocal airspace closures imposed by both countries after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, which escalated tensions and led to military confrontations between India and Pakistan.
