The decision by Pakistan to close its airspace to Indian aircraft has proven costly, leading to significant financial repercussions. Data indicates that the closure of airspace to Indian flights resulted in a loss of 127 crore rupees for Pakistan over a two-month period. This action was a direct response to India’s move to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23. The closure of airspace inflicted a substantial financial burden on Pakistan. The nation’s defense ministry provided details, indicating that the airspace restrictions disrupted more than 100 flights each day. This led to a financial loss of 4.10 billion Pakistani rupees (equivalent to around 127 crore Indian rupees) between April 24 and June 30.
