India has prolonged the ban on Pakistani aircraft using its airspace until August 24, 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22. The restriction, initially imposed on April 30, applies to all Pakistani-owned, operated, or leased flights, including military aircraft.

Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, announced on X that the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) barring Pakistani planes from Indian airspace has been extended until 11:59 p.m. UTC on August 23 (equivalent to 5:30 a.m. IST on August 24). He said the decision aligns with ongoing security measures and strategic concerns. The airspace ban, which was first set to end on May 24, has already been extended twice — to June 24 and then July 24 before the latest extension.
 
Meanwhile, Pakistan has also extended its reciprocal airspace ban on Indian aircraft until August 24, 2025. This measure was initially implemented on April 24, two days after India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan. Like India, Pakistan has extended the restriction every month first until May 24, then June 24, followed by July 24, and now until August 24. The ongoing restrictions reflect deepening tensions and a tit-for-tat response between the two countries following the April terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir.
