Airspace restrictions to fuel price
In addition to the burden of Pakistan losing its airspace after the February 26 Balakot airstrike, oil companies have now raised the price of fuel. The longer routes required to avoid flying over Pakistan are forcing airlines to burn more fuel and money. Now 2.5% more expensive, fuel for international flights will cost $700 per kilo litre in May, up from $668 last month. Pakistan’s airspace restrictions are expected to stay in place till at least May 15.

Longer the distance, higher the expense
As many as 400 flights per day are affected due to the closure of Pakistani airspace. The bulk of these, reports said, have rerouted further south to Oman airspace while already busy corridors in Iran have seen more than 100 flights added. An extra 451 kilometres is added to a flight from London to Singapore after taking the Oman route.

Air India
As the only Indian carrier that flies to Europe and the US, AI is the worst affected airline. It could lose another 100 crore this month until the ban is lifted. AI has already suffered a 372-crore hit in extra expenses and revenue lost on cancelled or curtailed flights. That’s about 6 crore daily.

Air India's (AI) nonstop flights between Delhi and the US are now taking a fuelling stop that adds about three hours to the flight length. AI is routing flights over Mumbai and Ahmedabad, and then turning over the Arabian Sea to head to Muscat and then fly to their destination. The detour adds 1.5 hours to flights to Europe and an hour to flights to Dubai.

Losses to Pakistan's CAA are higher than Air India as a percentage of revenue.
CAA is losing all the transit money because all flights to Europe from SE Asia like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia etc used to overfly Pak airspace. Now they are avoiding it, so no transit fees.
