India and Pakistan extend closure of air space till June 24

Tensions between Pakistan and India continue, with both countries extending the date of closure of each other's airspace to flights.

The Pakistan Airports Authority announced on Friday that the airspace ban on Indian airlines has been extended till June 24 amid the recent tensions with India.

At the same time, India has extended the ban on Pakistani aircraft from using Indian airspace until June 23. It is noteworthy that the latest tension between the two countries came when an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Srinagar on May 21 was hit by severe turbulence due to hailstorm.

During this, the pilot had sought permission from Pakistan to use its airspace, but Pakistan refused.
