Pakistan has extended its airspace restrictions for Indian aircraft for another month. The latest extension will keep the ban in place until October 23.
The decision means aircraft registered in India will continue to be barred from using Pakistani airspace. The restriction applies to Indian-registered aircraft under the latest aviation notice.
The Pakistan Airport Authority issued a new Notice to Airmen, commonly known as a NOTAM. The notice was issued following instructions from the federal government.
According to the notice, the existing restriction on Indian aircraft has been extended. The measure will remain effective until October 23 unless further changes are announced.
Pakistan first closed its airspace to Indian aircraft on April 23, 2025. The restriction has remained in effect since then, with subsequent extensions keeping the ban active.
The latest decision continues the existing aviation restrictions between the two countries. It affects aircraft registered in India that would otherwise use Pakistani airspace.
Airspace restrictions can affect flight routes between countries and regions. Airlines may need to use alternative routes when certain airspace is unavailable.
However, the provided notice does not specify any changes to individual airline schedules. It also does not provide details about the financial impact of the continued restriction.
The Pakistan Airport Authority is responsible for issuing aviation notices concerning the country’s airspace. NOTAMs provide important information to aircraft operators and aviation stakeholders.
The latest notice gives airlines and other operators updated information about the status of Pakistani airspace. Indian-registered aircraft will remain excluded under the current arrangement.
Pakistan has previously maintained the restriction through extensions of the original decision. The latest extension adds another month to the existing measure.
The continued closure also reflects the ongoing restrictions affecting aviation links between Pakistan and India. Both countries have faced changes in air travel arrangements since 2025.
For now, Indian-registered aircraft cannot use Pakistani airspace under the latest NOTAM. The restriction is scheduled to remain effective until October 23.
Any future change would depend on further government instructions and aviation notices. Until then, Pakistan’s airspace restrictions for Indian-registered aircraft remain in force.
