India and Pakistan have closed their air space for themselves, which means that Indian airlines cannot use Pakistani airspace and vice versa. However, the Indian airspace closure in Pakistan will have a more serious impact on Pakistan’s airline, according to Air Marshal (Retd) Sanjeev Kapoor.
In a separate video shared by a news agency, Nor Kapoor hears that the Indian decision to close its air space by Pakistani airlines as a result of the terrorist attack of Pahalgam 22. This will increase the flight time and costs.
Kapoor explained that tactical factors, such as longer routes caused by the closure of the airspace, will lead to higher fuel consumption, delayed planned and reducing the use of aircraft. All of this probably gives a significant drop in the operating costs of PIA.
“Flights from Islamabad to Kuala Lumpur from Pakistan international airlines, which usually last about 5 hours 30 minutes, will now take 8 hours 30 minutes,” he said.
“Any plane from Pakistan, which must travel, say, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka will have to go on a longer journey above the sea,” Kapoor added.
He explained the serious consequences that Pakistani airlines may have to face.
“This will lead to an extension of the flight time, increasing operating costs and increasing tickets (prices). This will lead to an extension of the turnover time and lack of fire.
Pakistani airspace closure: impact on India
Air Marshal (Retd) Sanjeev Kapoor also took note of how the closure of Pakistani airspace would affect Indian airlines.
Pakistan’s decision to block Indian Airlines in the use of their airspace will have a limited impact on its southern and western flight operations, but will affect the northern routes, especially from Nový Delhi, he said.
“Our flights from northern India, international flights, especially dilli, are influenced because we have to go to Gujarate and follow the western path above the Arabian sea to the UAE and then further.
“There are not many consequences for none of the flights from the Southern Peninsula in our country, except for the flights they run for us from the Delhi area,” he added.
On Wednesday, India closed its air space for Pakistani airlines and aircraft registered in Pakistan in moving to retaliation by April 22 Pahalgam’s terrorist attack. Pakistan previously closed his air space for Indian airlines and aircraft, in response to Indian retaliation for attack, such as suspension of Indus water contract.
