Overview

  • The Pakistan Airports Authority issued a new NOTAM extending the prohibition through September 23.
  • The order covers civilian and military aircraft that are Indian-owned, operated or leased.
  • India has maintained a reciprocal closure to Pakistani aircraft since April 30.
  • This marks the fifth consecutive month of restrictions following the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
  • Pakistan’s Defence Ministry reports PKR 4.1 billion (about Rs 1,240 crore) in lost overflight revenue for April–June, with airlines taking longer routes that raise costs and strain schedules.
