New Delhi:
It is not just an Indian airlines traveling to the West, which causes long -term flying and more costs due to overfly ban on Pakistan.
Many major western carriers are now voluntarily escaping from Pakistani airs, although they do not face such restrictions.
At the end of the day, Pakistan’s Aerospace Authority loses millions of dollars every month, which is for overflight fees, which charge from the airlines using its airspace.
For the last two days, Lufthansa, British Airways, Swiss, Air France, Italy’s ITA and Poland have a lot of major European carriers who voluntarily avoids Pakistani airs due to tension between India and Pakistan.
This means that flights between Europe and India are on average, about an hour more.
Ultimately, airlines can undergo passengers passing over the cost of higher fuel – although it is not clear when it will happen.
According to reports, Air India can harm $ 600 million annually as it cannot abolish Pakistan.
Significantly, the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan may lose hundreds of breaths at overfly fee on an annual basis.
In February 2019, after India’s air strike at a terrorist camp in Balakot, occupied by Pakistan, the Pakistani Authority lost at least $ 100 million over a five -month period due to airy ban for airlines.
Indian airlines may suffer, but the major international operators who had chosen to escape from Pakistani airspace will not either pay Pakistan for their airspace’s use. For Pakistan, tension with India is a defeat and defeat situation.
The Center for Asia-Pacific Aviation (CAPA) said that Indian carriers are being denied overflight rights on Pakistani aircraft, which are maintaining additional expenses of $ 70-80 million per month.
The Indian Airlines yesterday presented its inputs on the impact of Pakistan airspace closure for the Ministry of Civil Aviation. News agency PTI reported that the airlines including Air India, Indigo and SpiceJet have given their input and suggestions to the ministry.
Pakistan banned its airspace on India’s flights, when India took steps on the terrorist attack against the country in Pahgam in Jammu and Kashmir, killing 26 tourists. India also responded by banning Pakistani flights from Indian aircraft.
