Pakistan lost $50 million from airspace restrictions: minister

[ACE OF THE AIR]

shortest distances between point X and point Y.

Thats the Great Circle route...

Thats the Great Circle route..

If you go to google maps it has a measuring tool [which is what I used] and it shows the shortest distance via line. Those darned lines I posted are that. Shortest, yes shortest distance from London 2 Delhi, Dubai 2 Delhi etc. Notice they all bisect Pakistan. The detours and deviations airlines were making was what that 20/30% extra cost was. thus wrecking those tiny margins you mentioned.


I hope you get that ace of air ....

Bro my calculations are based on Aviation Charts and Flight Routes. (Jeppessen Charts). Google does not show areas where one can not fly i.e prohibited or restricted areas which need to be avoided at all times.

I am sure 50 million dollars hurt us more compared to 1 billion to india..

Expect for the fact indian loss was 75 million dollars .

Bro my calculations are based on Aviation Charts and Flight Routes. (Jeppessen Charts). Google does not show areas where one can not fly i.e prohibited or restricted areas which need to be avoided at all times.

The flight routes are configured on many factors but the baseline is shortest distance between X and Y. This then is mediated by other factors but that does not deflect from the baseline.

Okay you explain to me why flights were costing 20-30% more or why Kabul-Delhi flight took nearly 6 hours from 2 hours???

Hint: Because the baseline was deviated by Pak air ban.

Expect for the fact indian loss was 75 million dollars .

Nonsense. It was lot more. Unless are you suggesting Indian air traffic volume is only slightly more then Pakistan's to Europe/MENA/Europe?

Indian economy is 9X bigger than Pakistan with foreign reserve alone 1.5 times size of pakistan's GDP . India could afford it barring delay in travel time .

India can soak losses like that without much problem if need arises which is not to say its ideal, but we can.

Actually, it's the Air India(which had raised the rates to compensate) and bulk of international airlines that took loss not GOI but it's GOP that lost airspace revenue. Looks idiotic given the economic condition the country is in.

If it was so easy then why beg so hard?

Why open it when it is only hurting your enemy that hard? Were you scared? You answer this then I'll answer.

An act of mercy. Say thank you.

We did to satisfy one's hubris. You know fools fall for it. You are welcome.

You'd know all about being a fool wouldn't you?

Of course, as I deal with you lot on a daily basis.

According to government data, Air India was the worst hit among all Indian carriers. It lost Rs. 490 crore until July 2 due to the sheer number of flights it operates to the U.S. and Europe. According to IATA, before the ban at least 220 flights used the Pakistan airspace every night between Asia and Europe.

It is undeniable that for both Pakistan and India Europe, North America and Middle East make up most of the air traffic. Even simple look at a map will show that pakistan does NOT get impacted by air ban but India is crippled.

On the other hand South East Asia forms a tiny % of air traffic volume for both countries, particularly Pakistan. thus indian ban has negligible effect on Pakistan. It was Indian airlines crying. And the ban was lifted because Pakistan could not use the Balakot excuse forever. Do understand it will have been under pressure from Western and Middle East governments as their airlines were also hurting.

Only indian based airline that flies abroad right now is Air India. Rest are all global airlines.

No , indian air traffic volume way higher than pakistan , all one need to do watch the flightradar status at any point of time .

coming back to your point , u see pakistan loss was mainly due to loss overflight charges , while india loss was mainly due extra fuel burnt . India didn't loss much in overflight charges , those fights who had to take overflight in india from pakistan avoided pakistan by circumventing it before entering india , e,g london to sydney , didn't overfly pakistan causing overfligth charges loss to pakistan and instead entered india from Arabian sea and over fly to sydney .

Pakistan Lost $50 Million From Airspace Restrictions: Minister

BY SYED RAZA HASSAN

KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan's aviation minister on Thursday said that his country suffered loses of over eight billion rupees ($50 million) from airspace restrictions imposed since February which affected hundreds of commercial and cargo flights.


Pakistan closed its airspace after an attack by a Pakistan-based militant group in Indian-controlled Kashmir led to clashes between the nuclear-armed powers, adding flight time for passengers and fuel costs for airlines.

“Over eight billion rupees worth of losses have been suffered by the Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority,” Ghulam Sarwar Khan, Pakistan’s aviation minister told a press conference in Karachi.

“We don’t have exact figures of losses of their (Indian) civil aviation authorities but its more than ours,” Khan added.

Pakistan reopened its airspace to international civil aviation on Tuesday.

“Airspace restrictions were from both sides and it has been lifted by both countries,” the minister said.
