Pakistan Closes Airspace to India: What’s at Stake for Airlines? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Indian airlines just hit major turbulence — and it’s not weather-related. Pakistan has closed its airspace to India, forcing planes to take longer, costlier routes westward. This move could mean increased flight times, rising fuel bills, and a competitive edge for foreign carriers like Turkish Airlines. If this feels familiar, it’s because it is — a similar closure in 2019 cost Indian airlines ₹700 crore. Meanwhile, tensions on the ground escalate: India has canceled visas for Pakistani nationals. Citizens are scrambling to reach the border. Palki Sharma brings you all the details.
