The good news is fewer tourists from India will be visiting central asian states & vice versa. Hats off to the Pakistani Government for continuing with the airspace ban.

Has china also closed its airspace? If not, via Himalayas, china... seems to be a decent route instead of arabian sea, iran afghanistan etc...

Flight paths always avoid mountain and extreme cold region.

Indian shouldn't try to enter in Pak territory. Now when Pakistan flex the muscle they feel the pain. Plus, India was not expecting such a response from Pakistan. They thought this issue will be bury in the sand of time. Bullying never works all the time.

Pakistan has opened the airspace properly I think.

Why can't they use China's airspace?

Not for India-related flights, It's closed for now and they're already losing billions on their international routes.

Air-India isn't really the best rated airlines but it still carries a lot of passengers everyday through its multiple airports thus making them a lot of money (Revenue from International routes through Pakistan's airspace) They're bleeding from this airspace ban. Kashmir already isn't bringing them 1 billion + tourist money and now their flights are suffering. Hope we continue with the ban.

Chinese charge per nautical mile. Plus, they end up needing refueling from Chinese airports.

That route will take them over the Himalayas and the Karakoram. Aircraft usually don't fly over these ranges because of the ultra high altitude terrain and the extremely unpredictable and turbulent weather.

For all those who kept saying that the strategic location of Pakistan is a myth, IN YOUR FACE!
