Amid rising tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack and India's Operation Sindoor, both India and Pakistan have extended their mutual airspace bans. India, via a NOTAM, barred all Pakistani-registered, operated, or leased aircraft, including military flights, until June 23. In response, Pakistan extended its ban on Indian airlines till June 24. These closures, initially imposed in late April, are in accordance with ICAO guidelines allowing 30-day restrictions. The move follows further strain, including Pakistan’s denial of airspace to an IndiGo flight, which subsequently faced severe turbulence. Diplomatic and aviation tensions remain high as both nations maintain hardline positions. (PC: Pixabay)
