KARACHI:

The Pakistan Airport Authority (PAA) on Tuesday extended restrictions on Indian aircraft using its airspace until June 24.

Pakistan has kept its airspace closed to Indian aircraft since April 2025, when tensions between the two countries sharply escalated after an attack in IIOJK's Pahalgam.

According to a fresh Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued on Tuesday, the authority said Pakistan's airspace would remain closed to all aircraft registered in India.

The restriction also applies to planes operated, owned, or leased by Indian airlines or operators, including military flights, the NOTAM added.
