India on Friday extended the closure of its airspace for flights operated by Pakistan airlines by another month till June 23, according to sources.

The Indian airspace will not be available for aircraft registered in Pakistan as well as for planes operated, owned or leased by Pakistan airlines and operators till June 23, 2025, according to the fresh NOTAM issued on Friday.
