Pakistan extends airspace ban on Indian aircraft until November 24
Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on Indian-registered aircraft and planes owned, operated or leased by Indian airlines for another month, until November 24, according to the country's airports authority.
The restriction, initially imposed on April 23, 2025, has been extended periodically since then amid strained relations between the two neighbouring countries.
The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) announced the extension in a post on X on Saturday, saying the restriction also covers military flights.
The latest extension will remain in effect until 4:59 am (local time) on November 24, 2026, according to the authority.
A PAA spokesperson said a fresh Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) had been issued to extend the ban, Geo News reported.
Pakistan's airspace is divided into two flight information regions (FIRs) -- Karachi and Lahore, according to a Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA) document from 2022.
The latest NOTAM applies to both the Karachi and Lahore FIRs.
