India prolongs airspace closure for Pakistan airlines
India has decided to keep its airspace off-limits for all Pakistani flights, both civil and military, until July 24, 2025.
This move follows the deadly Pahalgam terror attack in April that killed 26 people, and is part of a bigger set of measures like suspending water-sharing agreements and shutting down border crossings with Pakistan.
TL;DR
Bans likely making travel longer, pricier for everyone
These airspace bans aren't just political—they're likely making travel longer and pricier for everyone.
Airlines from both countries now have to take longer routes, potentially burning more fuel and racking up costs.
It's another sign of how tensions between India and Pakistan might spill over into everyday life, potentially affecting everything from flight times to regional connections.
