India Extends Airspace Ban on Pakistani Flights and Military Aircraft Until June 23

India has extended its ban on Pakistani flights using Indian airspace until June 23, amid ongoing tensions between the two countries following last month’s deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which left 26 civilians dead.

The extension was confirmed on Friday through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by India’s Civil Aviation Ministry. Under the new directive, all aircraft owned, operated, or leased by Pakistani airlines—including military flights—are prohibited from entering Indian airspace.

This move comes just two days after reports emerged that Pakistan had also extended its own airspace restrictions for Indian flights by another month.

Pakistan first shut its airspace to Indian flights on April 23, a day after the attack in Pahalgam, which was reportedly carried out by terrorists linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba. In response, India followed suit a week later by issuing a similar ban affecting all Pakistani-registered aircraft.
