In response to the recent Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists, India has closed its airspace to all Pakistan-owned and operated aircraft, including military planes. The decision mirrors Pakistan’s earlier move to ban Indian flights and comes amid rising Indo-Pak tensions. A NOTAM issued by New Delhi confirmed the airspace ban remains in effect until May 23. The move severely impacts Pakistani carriers, forcing detours around Indian territory for Southeast Asia and Oceania-bound flights, increasing fuel and time costs. India has also suspended diplomatic ties, border posts, and the Indus Waters Treaty in a series of escalating countermeasures. (PC: NDTV)
