India has extended the closure of its airspace for Pakistani aircraft and airlines by a month, until June 23, 2025, according to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by Indian aviation authorities on Friday.
The ban, initially imposed on April 30 as part of a series of measures taken by the Indian government following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, was originally set to expire on May 23.
As per the latest NOTAM, Indian airspace remains closed to all aircraft registered in Pakistan, as well as those operated, owned, or leased by Pakistani airlines and operators. The restriction also applies to Pakistan’s military aircraft.
In a reciprocal move, Pakistan has extended its ban on Indian aircraft through its airspace by a month, now effective until June 24, 2025.
The diplomatic and aviation restrictions follow heightened tensions between the two countries. On April 23, a day after the Pahalgam attack, India announced a series of punitive measures against Pakistan, including the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, the closure of the only operational land border crossing at Attari, and the downgrading of diplomatic ties, citing cross-border links to the massacre.
