The ban was imposed as part of the measures taken by the government against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people on April 22.
Initially, the ban was to end on May 24 and was later extended until June 24. On Monday, a fresh NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) was issued, extending the closure by one more month until July 24, 2025.

According to the NOTAM, Indian airspace will not be available for Pakistan-registered aircraft and aircraft operated, owned, or leased by Pakistani airlines and operators, including military flights.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has also extended its airspace closure for Indian aircraft by another month, until July 24.
On April 24, Pakistan banned its airspace for India until May 24 after the Indian government suspended the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan. The restriction was later extended until June 24.
On April 23, a day after the Pahalgam attack, India announced several punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, closure of the only operational land border crossing at Attari, and downgrading of diplomatic ties due to cross-border links to the massacre.
