Pakistan Continues Airspace Restrictions on Indian Aircraft

Pakistan has officially extended its ban on Indian airlines and planes using its airspace, citing ongoing diplomatic and security concerns.

The ban impacts all Indian commercial and private aircraft, including overflight and transit permissions, increasing flight durations and costs. The decision is reportedly linked to escalating tensions between the two countries, especially following recent cross-border developments.

Indian carriers are now forced to reroute flights, particularly to Gulf and Western destinations, causing delays and higher fuel expenses.

Officials have not provided a timeline for lifting the ban, indicating that restrictions may remain in place until diplomatic ties improve.
