Keep it closed

Can we not ban all flights to and from India, even from other carriers?

No, that would be shooting ourselves in the foot, many allied countries airlines use our airspace and Indian airspace to fly East. Just diplomatic takleef for no real gain. This hurts Indian government and Air India. Suits us well.

Even same get applied to Pakistani airlines, they need to follow the same route now and double cost.

Anyway - india. Airlines should have normal this now, going to west avoiding Pakistani airspace by over iran etc (later)

And same for the Pakistani airlines if they want to go east, just for example Bangladesh - take complete uturn, or Indonesia, Australia or any - take longer routes
