Isolated and irrelevant lol, sure. This isolated and irrelevant country just kicked you India in the teeth and is also showing whose got the better geostrategic potential by declining airspace to all indian airliners. India has a lot of market value and is seen by US as a POTENTIAL (lol, not even in a million years) counter to China, nothing more. Pakistan has and still holds a much greater geostrategic location in South Asia.

India lies right next to the world's most trafficked shipping lane and controls the chokepoint of the Mallacca straits thanks to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. That alone makes it one of the most geostrategically important countries in the region. The only reason Pakistan is worth anything geopolitically is because it borders Afghanistan. But may I ask what benefit that got you? the only thing you got out of your so-called "strategic location" is thousands of soldiers and civilians killed and your economy ruined. Even today, the TTP still kills dozens of soldiers every year. As for kicking us in the teeth, right now you are crying about losing at least three soldiers and many more civillians.
And the closure of Pakistan airspace is hurting Pakistan more than India.
Closure of Pakistani airspace hurting Pakistan more than India, hahaha! Fuel costs more than access? Funny man.
Also, Pakistan's geostrategic importance lies in its central position in Asia to act as an access for Europe and Middle East, you know which is why hundreds of Indian flights finding trouble whereas only tens of flights from Pakistan finding trouble

Your own media is reporting those losses. Pakistani airlines have lost 2 billion ruppes. Indian airlines have lost 60 crore rupees. Not to mention the only airport affected is Delhi, flights from Mumbai , Ahmedabad, and South India are mostly unaffected. Not to mention compared to the size of our aviation industry, the losses to India are minimal. there are an equal number of flights of Air India going East to places like Singapore, Bangkok, and East asia, and the most profitable flight to the US is Delhi to San Francisco, which goes over the Pacific. India is also getting back most of the revenue lost through access fees and diverted flights refueling. If you notice, the international flights were able to bypass Pakistan, but not India. That kind of proves my point about India's location.
Pakistan lost flights to Bangkok, Kuala Lampur, and Beijing. In addition it lost flights to Colombo, Kathmandu, and Dhaka, which add up. Also the Eastern portion pf Pakistan has been closed to flights, meaning domestic flights between Lahore and Karachi have to divert through Balochistan.
Anyway, this is off topic. The point is India lies between East Asia and the Middle East, which is why it has historically bee important. The majority of trade occurs over sea, land routes will never be able to compare. The fact that India sits between the two most important choke points for international trade means it will always be a major global power. Control of the sea means incredible geopolitical and economic influence, especially in a trade heavy economy like Asia. Hence both Russia and the US have been determined to have India in their camps since the end of the Cold War, and even China has been keen on improving relations. Fortunately, India has recently been smart enough not to fully align itself with either power and reap the benefits of both.
