India, Afghanistan plan air cargo link over Pakistan

Well afghanistan and india are two sovereign countries . They can do what they will .
I don't see any reason to think this trade link as a bad one unless it's not against our security .

It's true that many terrorists does enter pakistan through border of Afghanistan but that doesn't mean the ordinary people of Afghanistan are responsible for it and should deprive them of trade .

Until every form of terrorism is stopped from afghan soil, we will continue to ignore any and all of their interests, economic or otherwise. So good luck to them importing indian trade from the air by having to pay for cargo flights around the Pakistani airspace making them 5 times more expensive. And if this means the afghan taliban eventually get their hands around their necks and hang ashraf ghani by the family jewels then so be it. he shouda known better than to cater to indian sponsored terrorism.

No friend .
Have goodwill .
I hope afghanistan stands on its own foot one day .
Let india help them , but india itself being a poor country won't be that helpful and I was shocked when saw nagative comments from indians when sharbat gula was going to get a 'free ' treatment in india . It shows that india want to be neutral helping them .
No one can help Afghanistan except afghans themselves , they've rich resources . Rather than settling in Europe they should invest in own country .

But , it would've been much beneficial if afghanistan had such relation with China as China is a big fish and it positively helps a nation with their resources . Moreover, china doesn't play politics .
China gave $24 billion to bangladesh to help it , it could've given same to Afghanistan if afghanistan plays positively . Moreover, china ignored Afghanistan request to join cpec but invited iran instead , afghanistan should get big fishes along with india .

Yeah india isn't in it for helping them and frankly nor is ghani and others. They are filling their pockets at the expense of the afghani people. Let's face it, there's a reason why 65% of afghanistan is under taliban control and its increasing. So thanks but no thanks on letting india help them, not at our expense.

It's a dilemma my dear , no one cares about poor nor help them sincerely . Poor are only being used to get personal gains .
Afghanistan always being used by USA, UK, middle east, india , Pakistan .

Aren't Pakistani flights still using the Indian air space?
So what's so special about India-Afghan air cargo link?

Indian Airlines use Pakistan's air space and use it more than Pakistan airlines.

You perhaps forgot to mention that fact.

True but we actually GENUINELY did care but got terrorism, drugs and hatred in return by the close minded afghani people. So whatever their people are suffering, they've brought most of it upon themselves. So no more.

IATA law says that a flight has to declare what type it is and where is it going. Cargo flight to and from india won't be allowed thru our air space. Simple as that.

What a stupid headline!
Air cargo is prevalent the world over.

What is big (stupid) wow?
Is India air shipping Styrofoam to Afghanistan?
That would shatter all records then.
Rofol..

Do you have any idea how hard it will be for any country if it were to not give into such situations?
You can not live alone. No way!
We depend on you and so also you depend on us. It's called symbiosis.

Just an idea for you what's cooking all the time in indian brain ............... but you would never know nor care to know. Symbiosis my foot .............. when it suits your and only your interests then you come up with the nicest stories on how technical it is, how difficult it is, how it will hurt us, and how we cannot do it and some more blah blah blah ........... but if it is something harm us you won't even blink in doing it. The basic principal of symbiosis is have respect for other and work together to attain mutual benefit .... and not act like a bully, and always crying and whining baby.

If someone has not already corrected you: If you block air route of India, India would block air route for Pakistan bound flights and given that India is larget than Pakistan and you are anyway short on money; it would be kill airline sector for your country.

You cannot do anything except swallow your pride and let Indian cargo planes fly to Afghanistan. Worse still, you cannot even check airplanes, while you could have checked cargo trucks.

As for killing Hindus, mass murder is expected and considered on par for Jihadis.
