Pakistan on Tuesday, January 20, 2025, extended its ban on Indian aircraft using its airspace by another month, until February 24. This ban was originally placed in April last year after the Pahalgam terror attack. India has also imposed a similar ban on Pakistani aircraft. According to a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by Pakistan Airports Authority, the ban will continue beyond its earlier expiry date of January 23. The extension applies to all Indian-registered aircraft, plus any planes owned, operated, or leased by Indian airlines, including military flights. The airspace closure covers from ground level up to unlimited altitude. Pakistan’s airspace is split into two flight information regions: Karachi and Lahore. The NOTAM states that the ban is valid in both these regions, tightening flight restrictions for Indian aircraft over Pakistan.
