Pakistan extends airspace ban for Indian aircraft until October 23
Restriction applies to all civil and military aircraft of Indian-registered airlines
The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has announced that it will keep its airspace restricted to Indian aircraft until October 23. This extension of the ban was issued on the government's directions. The restriction, which applies to all civil and military Indian-registered aircraft, remains in place until October 23, according to a new Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) from the PAA.
No Indian-registered aircraft can use Pakistani airspace, even if the aircraft has been leased. The PAA made this announcement following a series of escalating tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi, which began after an attack in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April 2025.
