Islamabad, Sep 16 - Pakistan has extended the restrictions on Indian aircraft operating within its airspace for another month, according to the Pakistan airports authority. The airspace ban, imposed by both countries following the Pahalgam terrorist attack in April 2025, prohibits Indian registered aircraft and those operated, owned, or leased by Indian airlines and operators, including military flights, from entering Pakistani airspaces.
The extension of the ban took effect at 10:45 am on Wednesday and will continue until 04:59 am on Oct 24, 2026. This decision came shortly after the previous extension of the ban expired on September 24. Pakistan's airspace is divided into two flight information regions (FIRs) - Karachi and Lahore, as per a 2022 document from the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCAA). The current NOTAM applies to both FIRs.
