Pakistan and India have extended airspace restrictions for each other's aircraft in tit-for-tat moves, both countries said on Friday, amid continuing diplomatic tensions between the neighbours after a brief military conflict this month.
The Pakistan Airports Authority said the restriction applied to "all aircraft registered, operated, owned, or leased by India", including military planes, until 4:59 AM local time on June 24 (2359 GMT on June 23).
India's Civil Aviation Ministry issued a corresponding NOTAM (Notice to Airmen), saying Pakistani-registered, operated, owned, or leased aircraft, including military flights, would be barred from Indian airspace through June 23.
The move extends restrictions first imposed last month.
