Pakistan extends airspace ban on Indian airlines

Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has prolonged the existing airspace restriction against Indian commercial airlines for a further one-month period. This extension maintains the current limitations effective through November 2023, following an initial imposition of the ban in August. The decision stems from heightened security concerns related to regional tensions and operational risks associated with utilizing Pakistani airspace by Indian carriers. Currently, no Indian airlines are permitted to fly over Pakistan's territory. AeroTime reports that this ongoing measure impacts travel routes between India and destinations reliant on transit through Pakistani air corridors.
