India’s airspace remains closed for Pakistan-registered airlines as well as aircraft, thereby maintaining a status quo with the policy of the neighbouring country, said Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu on Friday.
Speaking at an event in New Delhi, Naidu said, “The NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) has been extended from the last time.”
“We are maintaining status quo right now.”
On Friday, India extended the NOTAM by one month till June 23, 2025. The earlier NOTAM by India was valid from May 1, 2025, to May 23, 2025.
The move came after Pakistan extended its NOTAM, which is meant to cut access to its airspace for India-based airlines. Accordingly, the NOTAM’s scope of restriction issued for FIRs (Flight Information Regions) covered major Indian airspace regions.
“Indian airspace is not available for Pakistan-registered aircraft and aircraft operated or owned or leased by Pakistan airlines or operators, including military flights,” the NOTAM read.
