Pakistani airspace: There is an atmosphere of tension between India and Pakistan after the terrorist attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, many big international airlines like Lufthansa and Air France have now started using other routes avoiding Pakistani aircraft. This has been revealed in the flight tracking data revealed on Monday.
Action taken after Pahalgam attack
After the Pahalgam attack, India shut down its aircraft for Pakistan’s airlines companies and Pakistan also retaliated on it for aircraft of Indian airlines companies, but did not ban other international airlines.
Here, the Lufthansa Group has confirmed the news agency Reuters that it will not use Pakistani airspace indefinitely due to more time for Asian countries.
Pakistan’s overflight revenue deficit to Pakistan
The data of Flightradar24 shows that due to the new route, Lufthansa’s Frankfurt-to-Delhi flight (LH760) took an additional time to travel for one hour. This will not only take longer to travel, but will also have more fuel consumption, which will directly affect the airlines companies. This change will also harm Pakistan’s overflight revenue.
Pakistani airspace being bypassed
In addition, the flight tracking system showed that British Airways, Swiss International Air Lines and Emirates flights are changing their way through Delhi. After crossing the Arabian Sea, they are escaping from Pakistani aircraft and most of them are choosing the northern route to travel.
British Airways and Emirates have not yet publicly commented on the matter. However, Air France has officially announced the cancellation of its flights from Pakistani aircraft, citing rising regional instability.
