Pak Airspace closure hits Indian Pockets: AI appeals to 'inactive' crew to immediately join work.

[Wow]

lol

Not a big deal at all.
We can afford even if we totally shut down Pak dealings with India



GoI took a decision after they anticipated all kind of reactions .
This means nothing to us .
If we can increase the duty up to 200% this also nothing to us .

The closure of Pakistan’s airspace on Feb 27 – after Pakistan Air Force (PAF) shot down two Indian jets – has affected international flights originating out of India and has caused major losses to the Indian national carrier, Hindustan Times reported

Reports state that around 400 flights originating out of India daily are affected. Air India, which operated 33 weekly flights to the United States and 66 to Europe had to cut-down on operations and the carrier had to club many Europe and US-bound flights.

Air India flights from the US had to take a longer flight path, which extended their already long duration and significantly increased operating expenses.

“The AI Mumbai-New York-Mumbai flight, launched in December 2018, has been combined with the Mumbai-Newark-Mumbai flight for the duration between March 16 and May 31”, the airline tweeted.

Good! Keep the pressure till elections. Let Indians realize they are not a shup power like Modi wants them to believe and instead they should be focusing on their own issues rather than shouting war war war all the time which is basically the core of their politics.

They can all thank "Modi jii" for all this

 

[I S I]

Good. Burn them to the ground. (Pun intended)

Pakistan should start charging money to use its airspace, criminal by Pakistan to let India use free of cost.

How do you its not costing India much??

You work at a call center. You dont know anything

He's doing fine by IRS scamming the American public. Maybe he thinks that by stepping up their scams into overtime they can save Air India.

From what I hear there been close misses of planes as a result. Not only financial burden but the gangus own incompetence will ensure this is a successful measure.

 

[PurpleButcher]

If china also blocked its airspace, i think most international flights out of india will come to a halt

 

[xyxmt]

You can continue, no problem

can't super power force open it

 

[koolio]

Good Bhartis should be made to pay dearly for messing with Pakistan, keep the Pakistani airspace closed long as possible until they come to their senses, but then again Bhartis can never be trusted.

India should appologize and pay is for those trees they murdered, then we can open up the air again.

people working in the airline industry say Air India is even worse then PIA. say its absolute trash.

meanwhile other indian airlines like jet aiways always get a positive reaction when asked.

what do you mean by "close misses"?

It is not going to cost India much but I am sure that in couple of more month, Pakistan air lines will certainly will become bankrupt.

India has a far larger number of people travelling daily by air then pakistan. i thinks its india that will be effected more by air space closer then pak.
