India and Pakistan confront their airspace for another month!

India and Pakistan have extended the ban on airspace for another month, according to Mehr News Agency.

Following the intensification of tension between India and Pakistan after the April 5 attack on a group of tourists in Kashmir -controlled India, Islamabad closed its airspace on April 6 for at least a month.

Delhi also banned Pakistani aircraft from India's airspace in a similar move. The ban was supposed to expire today at local time.

However, the parties announced that the flight ban would continue for another month (June 6 / July 3).

The closure of Pakistani airspace has overshadowed about 5 Indian flights each week.

Kashmir, which most of the population is Muslim, has always been the dispute of the two nuclear states after India and Pakistan's independence in the year 6, both of which claim to be owned.

Pakistan's decision to close its airspace to the neighboring country will prolong Indian flights to Central Asia, Europe and North America by 4 hours, and increased flight time will result in increased costs.

According to the official Indian government's data, when Islamabad closed its airspace on India in response to Delhi Air strikes in response to an attack in Kashmir, its domestic airlines suffered about $ 1.5 billion ($ 1.2 million) in a nearly five -month period.
