Bad leadership can destroy economy and nation. Pakistan and India should resolve disputes and develop mutual trade relationship. Both countries can reduce the defence budget and save billions of dollars .

Please share your thoughts

Pak-India airspace closure: National institutions suffer Rs2.55b loss

Listen





KARACHI: Pakistan and India have closed their airspace for each other for the last two weeks after rise of tension between the two countries due to which the national institutons of Pakistan have suffered losses of Rs2.55 billion.

The airlines and civil aviation authorities of both the countries are enduring massive losses. The flights between Europe to Far-East are not only facing massive financial losses, but the flight duration has also increased, while the airlines have also increased their ticket prices. The schedule of the airlines flying on these routes has also been affected.

The Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has suffered loss of Rs1.05 billion due to closure of certain routes for the airline, while the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan has incurred a loss of around Rs1.5 billion so far due to prevailing tension.

Only few large airports are still open, while the airlines are now using long routes due to which the air travel duration has increased, which has resulted into increase in air fares. Only the PIA is suffering a loss of over 70 million on daily basis in the head of fuel charges

This is happening to them after they were asking tax payers for a ~$300 million bailout because the air line is failing. Overall Indian airline industry was already in distress and at risk of losing billions a year, this just makes matters worse for them.

Air india operates on many aerial routes but pakistans airspace blockage is costing it enough to start considering other options.I heard thai air is also been affected by this.

The significant bone of contention between the two countries is Kashmir.India has not made a sincere attempt to have a political solution of Kashmir. It must be understood that political problems can’t have military solutions, and attempts to continue military approach may only keep the violence cyclic.The question which arises here is what options India and Pakistan have with regard to Kashmir? I believe that there are four options: a full scale war; any action short of war; status quo; and political solution of Kashmir through dialogue.The Karnataka Legislative Assembly opposition leader BS Yeddyurappa told Indian reporters on Wednesday: “Day by day, the wind is increasingly blowing in favour of the BJP. Yesterday's action of destroying terror hideouts by entering inside Pakistan has resulted in a pro-Modi wave in the country, the results of which can be seen in coming Lok Sabha polls …It has enthused youths; all this will help us in winning more than 22 Lok Sabha seats.

pakistan already told in tweet "We hope you understand that you were manipulated into war mongering. #LetBetterSensePrevail; isolate the ppl who r desperate to win an election.War is in no nation’s interest,& its soldiers & civilians who are the collateral damage. Don’t let one man use it for political mileage.

I don't get this route?

The app has the known route built in but is taking into account the deviation.
We lose on certain routes east as well and have to fly all the way south to SR or through China.
But India’s air traffic volume is much much more and hence a higher loss
