LAHORE:

Pakistan on Wednesday extended its closure of airspace to India for another month, with the restriction remaining in place until September 24, according to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by the PAA.

The restriction applies to all civil and military aircraft of Indian-registered airlines, the notice says. The authority added that under the extended restriction, no Indian-registered aircraft can use Pakistan's airspace, even if the aircraft has been taken on lease.

Earlier, the PAA extended the restriction on Indian aircraft using its airspace until August 24.
