China & WorldPakistan Extends Airspace Ban on Indian Aircraft to April 24 as Bilateral Tensions Persist
Pakistan extended its airspace closure ban on Indian civil aircraft to April 24, 2026, stemming from ongoing tensions since the 2025 Pahalgam terrorist attack.
Pakistan government announced will extend ban on Indian civil aviation aircraft closing airspace until April 24, 2026, citing two countries security situation remains serious. This ban was initially implemented in April 2025 when Pahalgam terrorist attack occurred in Indian-controlled Kashmir region, causing 26 civilians to perish. Pakistan Defense Minister subsequently warned that if India takes military reckless action, Pakistan will give unprecedented and decisive counter-strike. Airspace closure forced Indian airlines flying to Europe and Central Asia routes to take detours, significantly increasing flight time and operating costs. Two countries relations after brief May 2025 ceasefire have continued in high-level tension state, with diplomatic channels nearly severed. Analysts noted this ban extension signals India-Pakistan bilateral relations have fallen into most serious difficult situation since 2019. Given April 22 marking one-year anniversary of Pahalgam incident, international observers deeply concerned about further situation escalation.
