Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban for Indian Aircraft

Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban for Indian Aircraft
Pakistan extends airspace ban for Indian aircraft till Aug 24 · m.rediff.com

Pakistan has decided to keep its airspace closed to Indian aircraft until August 24.

This means no Indian planes, whether they are for flying people or for the military, can fly through Pakistani airspace.

India has also done the same thing and is not allowing Pakistani planes to fly through its airspace.

This started last year after a very bad event called the Pahalgam terror attack, which made both countries very tense and not trust each other.

The Pakistan Airports Authority is the one that made this announcement.
