Pakistan has extended its airspace restrictions on Indian aircraft for another month, with the ban now set to remain in effect until September 24, according to a new aviation notice issued on Wednesday.
The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) announced the extension through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), continuing restrictions that have been in place since April 2025.
Under the latest order, all civil and military aircraft operated by Indian-registered airlines are prohibited from entering Pakistani airspace.
The restriction also covers aircraft leased by Indian operators, meaning they cannot use Pakistani airspace regardless of whether the aircraft itself is owned or taken on lease.
The latest extension follows a series of previous renewals, with the restriction most recently scheduled to expire on August 24. Earlier extensions had kept the closure in place through June 24, May 24, April 24 and March 23.
Pakistan initially closed its airspace to Indian aircraft in April 2025 amid a sharp deterioration in relations between Islamabad and New Delhi following an attack in Pahalgam in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
The attack left 26 people dead, with India blaming Pakistan for the incident.
Pakistan rejected the allegation and offered to cooperate with an independent and neutral investigation into the attack.
The latest NOTAM means Indian carriers will continue to be required to avoid Pakistani airspace and use alternative routes until at least September 24.
