Overview
- India’s fresh NOTAM bars Pakistani-registered civilian and military aircraft from Indian airspace until 5:29 IST on October 24.
- Pakistan extended its own NOTAM days earlier, continuing its ban on Indian-operated flights through the same date.
- The reciprocal restrictions, initiated in late April after the Pahalgam attack, now continue into a sixth consecutive month.
- Cirium data indicate about 400 weekly westbound departures from North Indian airports and their return legs are being rerouted, lengthening flight times and increasing fuel burn.
- Air India has warned of roughly $600 million in annualised costs, while Pakistan reported PKR 4.10 billion in lost overflight revenue for April to June.
