Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban on Indian Aircraft Until September 24
Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on Indian-registered aircraft, including military flights, until September 24, according to a Notice to Airmen issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority. This restriction, covering both Karachi and Lahore flight information regions, was first imposed after the April 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack. India maintains a reciprocal ban on Pakistani aircraft. The ongoing closures have caused increased travel times and financial challenges for airlines operating between the two countries.
