Pakistan extends airspace ban for Indian aircraft until October 23

Pakistan has extended its airspace ban for Indian aircraft, marking the 19th consecutive month of the restriction. The ban applies to all civil and military aircraft operated by Indian airlines.

Officials confirmed that the restriction remains in place through October 23. The extension continues the ongoing limitation on overflight rights for Indian carriers within Pakistani airspace.

The decision affects flight planning for Indian airlines and their operations across regional routes that would normally utilize Pakistani airspace. The restriction has been in effect for an extended period, with the latest extension maintaining the status quo for now.

Specifics on dates, routes, or potential impacts on schedules beyond the October 23 date were not disclosed in the available material. The report notes the ongoing nature of the airspace ban and its impact on Indian airline operations as part of the broader context.
