How many Indian flights: Following the tension in Pakistan-India relations, the ban on the use of Pakistani airspace by Indian flights will prevent many Indian flights from using Pakistani airspace.
According to a website that monitors flights globally, three Indian flights a week use Pakistani airspace, while no significant number of PIA flights use Indian airspace.
One hundred and thirty-nine Indian flights to Europe and North America use Pakistani airspace.
There are more than one hundred and forty flights to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar that use Pakistani airspace. Now Indian flights will have to reach their destination via the Arabian Sea or Central Asia.
When contacted, a CAA spokesperson declined to comment.
