India Extends Airspace Ban on Pakistani Aircraft Till August 23
New Delhi:
In a continued display of geopolitical pressure, India has extended its *Notice to Airmen (NOTAM)* restricting airspace access for all aircraft *registered, operated, owned, or leased by Pakistani individuals or entities, including **military aircraft*.
The airspace closure, initially enforced amid escalating tensions, now remains effective *from July 22 to August 23, 2025 (estimated). This restriction applies across **Indian territorial airspace*, significantly limiting Pakistan’s aerial operations over or into Indian territory.
The decision reflects ongoing diplomatic and security concerns. The closure affects not just *civil aviation, but also **military and cargo flights* associated with Pakistan.
