Overview

• Government officials told the National Assembly that the Pakistan Airports Authority lost PKR 4.10 billion in overflight revenues between April 24 and June 30.
• The shortfall is lower than an earlier estimate of PKR 8.5 billion and applies solely to transit fees, not the PAA’s overall finances.
• Closure of Pakistani airspace to Indian carriers disrupted 100–150 flights daily and cut total air traffic by about 20 percent.
• Average daily overflight income had climbed from US$508,000 in 2019 to US$760,000 in 2025, underscoring heavier pre-closure traffic volumes.
• Islamabad extended its ban until August 24 while New Delhi reciprocated by prolonging its own airspace closure for Pakistani flights through August 23.
