Pakistan Imposes Short Morning Airspace Restrictions Over Karachi and Lahore on Oct. 28–29

Officials describe a routine safety step linked by outside reports to upcoming Indian drills.

Overview

  • A NOTAM from Pakistan’s aviation authority restricts specific routes in the Karachi and Lahore flight regions from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m. on October 28 and 29.
  • Regulators say the measures are for operational safety and air-traffic management, and airlines have been told to adjust schedules and plan for rerouting.
  • Independent tracker Damien Symon and Indian media report an Indian NOTAM and a large tri-service exercise, Trishul 2025, planned along the western border from October 30 to November 10.
  • Reports indicate Indian authorities have closed sections of airspace near Gujarat and Rajasthan for the drills, with activity spanning areas from Jaisalmer toward the Sir Creek region.
  • Separately, Pakistan’s ban on Indian‑registered aircraft using its airspace remains in force through November 24 under an earlier NOTAM.
