00:00Pakistan on April the 24th 2025 abruptly shut its airspace to all Indian airlines escalating
00:11tensions following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack this move forces Indian carriers to
00:17reroute westbound international flights from northern cities like Delhi over longer paths
00:23primarily across the Arabian Sea flights that once took direct routes through Pakistan now
00:29face detours adding up to two and a half hours to their journeys Airlines including Air India Indigo
00:36Spicejet and Akasa air have issued travel advisories warning passengers of possible delays and changes
00:44longer flight paths mean planes burn significantly more fuel leading to increased operational costs
00:51airlines must carry extra fuel which can limit the number of passengers or cargo they can carry
00:57complicating logistics further this isn't the first time Pakistan has closed its airspace to Indian
01:04carriers in 2019 after the Pulwama terror attack and Balakot airstrikes Indian Airlines suffered losses
01:13exceeding 700 koror rupees due to longer routes and higher fuel expenses industry experts predict that
01:21these increased costs will translate into higher ticket prices an 8 to 12 percent hike is expected
01:28in the short term if the airspace closure continues fares may rise even further impacting travelers flying to
01:36Europe North America the Middle East and Central Asia passengers are urged to stay updated on flight
01:44schedules and prepare for longer travel times Airlines are working to minimize inconvenience but warn that delays and
01:52schedule changes are inevitable during this period interestingly only Indian carriers are barred from Pakistani airspace

02:08airlines on key international sectors Indian Airlines are exploring various alternative routes including longer paths over the
02:16Arabian Sea and detours via Muscat Doha and even Chinese airspace to keep flights operational despite the
02:25restrictions with the situation evolving travelers and airlines face uncertainty
