Pakistan Extends Airspace Ban for Indian Aircraft
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.
Pakistan extended its airspace closure to Indian aircraft until August 24.
The ban includes Indian-registered, operated, owned, and leased aircraft.
Restrictions apply to both military and civilian aircraft from India.
India maintains a reciprocal ban on Pakistani-registered aircraft.
Both countries closed their airspace to each other's airlines last year after the Pahalgam terror attack.
