Islamabad/New Delhi, July 18 -- Pakistan has extended the ban of its airspace usage for all Indian aircraft - both civilian and military - for another month, stretching it from its expiration date on July 24 to August 23, according to a Notice to Airmen (Notam) issued by the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) on Saturday.
