Pakistan and India Extend Airspace Ban on Each Other
- India and Pakistan extended bans on each other's commercial and military flights through their airspace until late June 2025 amid ongoing tensions.
- The extensions follow reciprocal closures starting in late April 2025 after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam and subsequent military strikes named Operation Sindoor.
- India bans Pakistani-registered aircraft from its airspace through June 23, 2025, while Pakistan bans Indian flights until 4:59 a.m. On June 24, 2025, covering all flight types.
- The April 22 Pahalgam attack killed 26 people, triggering sanctions including visa revocations, border closures, and suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty.
- These reciprocal airspace closures prolong travel times, increase operational costs, and reflect entrenched hostility between the nuclear-armed neighbors over Kashmir.
