Airspace closure: The check of Pakistani airspace is going to Indian airlines around Rs 210 million per day in energy alone, while if the ban continues, the airlines will have to bear indeed heavier losses.
Airspace closure, According to private television Geo News, on the other hand, to avoid long-haul breakouts, passengers are preferring to travel on short-haul foreign breakouts that can pass through Pakistani borders to India. The trip costs of these breakouts are also lower.
According to experts, a Boeing 777 aircraft uses 6668 kilograms of energy in an hour, and an Airbus A319, 320 or 321 aircraft uses a normal of 2400 kilograms of energy. The average price of one kilogram of spurt energy is $82, and the current price of 6668 kilograms of spurt energy in India is $ 5467.
According to a simple computation, if a Boeing 777 or 787 aircraft canvases for 100 hours more, it will have to spend a additional $ 546,776 on energy alone. Also, if an Airbus A319, 320 or 321 aircraft canvases for 100 hours more, the airline will have to bear the burden of a additional $ 196,000 in energy costs.
Due to the check of Pakistani airspace, Indian airline flights are having to travel for 2 to 4 hours more, but then the computation is made for two hours. For 100 Boeing and 100 Airbus aircraft to travel to and from India to the US, Canada, Europe, the UK or other countries for two hours further per day, a fresh energy cost of $ 742,776 will have to be burned.
Air India and other Indian airlines are facing a daily loss of Rs 63.5 million in energy alone, which amounts to around Rs 210 million Pakistani rupees.
Still, long-haul breakouts will have to make layovers at airfields in other countries for refueling or staff changes, which is also not cheap, if the ban continues.
