ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has extended the closure of its airspace for Indian aircraft until October 23, according to a new NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) issued by aviation authorities.
The restriction, first imposed on April 23, 2025, followed heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. Since then, Pakistani airspace has remained closed to Indian flights, disrupting regional connectivity and international flight routes that normally transit through Pakistan.
The latest extension underscores the continuing strain in bilateral relations, with no immediate signs of a breakthrough in diplomatic or security talks between Islamabad and New Delhi.
