Pakistani airspace to remain closed for Indian flights until late May

Pakistani airspace will remain closed to Indian-registered aircraft, as well as Indian airlines and operators, including military flights, according to a recent NOTAM issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA). The notification states that this restriction will now remain in effect until 4:59am on May 24. Pakistan has issued a similar NOTAM last month, extending the restriction on its airspace for Indian aircraft until April 24. The NOTAM had stated that Pakistan’s airspace would remain unavailable for all aircraft registered in India, as well as those operated, owned, or leased by Indian airlines and operators. The restriction had applied broadly and also included Indian military flights, reinforcing the continuation of existing aviation limitations between the two countries. The airspace closure was effective from March 18 and remained enforced until 23:59 EST on April 23.
