Following the Pulwama attack, Pakistan closed its airspace to Indian flights on April 24, leading to a revenue loss of nearly ₹410 crore by June 30. Pakistan’s Ministry of Defence stated this is reduced revenue rather than a direct financial loss, emphasizing national sovereignty over profits. India extended its ban on Pakistani flights until August 23. With the airspace closure still in effect, Indian flights now take longer routes, increasing fuel costs and travel time.
