Pakistan Closes Airspace to Indian Flights Until June 23 Amid Rising Tensions
Islamabad-The Government of Pakistan has announced that it is closing its airspace to all registered and operational flights from the Republic of India until June 23, 2025. The decision was issued in an official notice by Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority. According to the notice, the move is based on “security considerations and technical assessments” and applies to all air routes crossing Pakistani airspace that are associated with Indian aircraft.
Weezharoz-This decision comes against a backdrop of escalating tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi, particularly in light of recent border developments and diplomatic confrontations.
Analysts suggest the move could be a response to India’s recent military activities or diplomatic posture in the region, though Pakistani authorities have not publicly disclosed the specific triggers behind the restriction.
Unofficial sources point to heightened security concerns and regional sensitivities as likely factors.
The closure is expected to impact not only direct Indian flights but also international carriers that rely on Pakistani airspace for transit, potentially forcing rerouting and increasing operational costs.
This is not the first time Pakistan has imposed such restrictions. Similar airspace closures occurred during previous episodes of heightened tension with India, particularly after military incidents or political disputes.
The move underscores the fragility of India-Pakistan relations and highlights how quickly regional developments can affect broader aviation and diplomatic dynamics.
