Pakistan鈥檚 aviation authority said on Friday it would extend a ban on Indian airlines using its airspace for another month, after the worst violence between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades.
The ban was announced on April 24 as both sides traded diplomatic tit for tat measures that spilled into a four-day military conflict.
More than 70 people were killed in missile, drone and artillery fire until a ceasefire was announced on May 10.
鈥楴o flight operated by Indian airlines or operators will be allowed to use Pakistani airspace,鈥� Pakistan鈥檚 Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement, adding that the ban had been extended until early morning on June 24.
鈥楾his ban will also apply to Indian military aircraft.鈥�
India had returned in kind with a ban in late April, due to run until June 23.
The conflict was sparked by a deadly attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir that New Delhi blamed Islamabad of backing.
Islamabad has denied the claim and called for an independent probe.
Muslim-majority Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947, with both claiming the territory in full.
