Pakistan Extends Ban On Indian Aircraft In Its Airspace Till November 24
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.
Pakistan has extended its airspace ban on Indian-registered aircraft and planes owned, operated or leased by Indian airlines until November 24, 2026, according to a report by Gulf News. The extension was announced by the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) in a post on X on October 17, 2025. The restriction covers both the Karachi and Lahore flight information regions and includes military aircraft.
The ban, which was first imposed on April 23, 2025, followed a sharp escalation in tensions between India and Pakistan after the April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, during which India accused Pakistan of involvement. The extension means the specified Indian civilian and military aircraft will remain barred from Pakistan's airspace until November 24, 2026.
