ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan has extended the closure of its airspace to Indian airlines for an additional month, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
The Pakistan Airports Authority, with government approval, issued a new Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) stating that all Indian-registered aircrafts, including commercial passenger planes, military aircraft, and private jets, will remain barred from entering Pakistani airspace until January 27, 2026.
The airspace ban was initially imposed on April 23, 2025, and has since caused significant financial losses to Indian airlines, running into billions of rupees.
Authorities emphasized that the extension is a continuation of the previous restriction, underlining Pakistan’s strict control over its airspace regarding Indian carriers.
This move comes amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two neighboring countries and reflects Pakistan’s continued caution over civil and military air traffic from India.
