Taipei/New Delhi: airlines that include United Airlines and Korean Air redirected or canceled flights and approximately a dozen Indian airports closed on Wednesday after India organized a retaliation attack against Pakistan that generated fears of a climb.
India attacked Azad Cashmiro and Pakistan said he had demolished five Indian combat planes in the outbreak, which followed an attack that killed 26 people in Jammu and Kashmir (Iiojk) of illegal occupation of India.
The images of the flight track websites showed a long line of airlines that passed over Oman, Eau and Kuwait after the attack, which increases the possibility of congestion of airspace.
The authorities in Pakistan said that 57 international flights were in the country's airspace when India hit. The office of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that the action of India “caused serious danger to commercial airlines” belonging to the Gulf countries and “lives in danger of extinction.”
The Ministry of Civil Aviation of India did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Pakistan's comments.
In recent days, India and Pakistan have closed their air spaces to the other airlines. Global airlines such as Lufthansa have also been avoiding Pakistan airspace.
National flights in both countries were also interrupted. 3 % of the flights scheduled in India and 17 % of the flights scheduled in Pakistan were canceled from 1030 GMT, according to Flightradar24.
The upper airline of India, Indigo, said he canceled 165 flights until Saturday morning. Their shares fell 1.1%. The flights belonging to Air India, Spicejet and Akasa Air were also canceled.
Pakistan said his airspace was open after closing after attacks and that his airports were “completely functional.”
The images of Flightradar24 showed some civil planes flying on the airspace of Pakistan, but the northwest of India continued deserted.
Concern for GPS Supplant
The changing schedules of the airline are established to further complicate operations in the regions of the Middle East and South Asia for carriers, which are already dealing with the consequences of conflicts in the two regions.
A spokesman for the Dutch airline Klm said he was not flying on Pakistan until further notice. Singapore Airlines said he had stopped flying on Pakistani airspace since May 6.
Korean Air said he had begun to change his flights Seoul Incheon -dubai on Wednesday, opting for a southern route that passes over Myanmar, Bangladesh and India, instead of the previous road through Pakistani airspace.
United Airlines said he had canceled his flight to Delhi, quoting in part “airspace limitations.” The US airline. Uu. Operates a direct flight from Newark to New Delhi.
Thai Airways said that the flights to destinations in Europe and the south of Asia would be redirected from Wednesday morning, while Taiwan China's airlines said that flights to and from destinations, including London, Frankfurt and Rome, had been interrupted.
It also saw flights from India to Europe taking longer routes. Lufthansa LH761 of Delhi to Frankfurt took approximately half an hour to reach its destination compared to Tuesday, according to Flightradar24.
The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines expressed concern about the impact of conflicts on the operations of the airlines.
“In addition to the cost and operational interruption, there are security concerns since the interference of GPS with flight operations about conflict areas is one of the biggest risks facing the industry,” he said in a statement.
GPS impersonation is a malicious technique that manipulates the data of the global positioning system (GPS), which can send commercial airplanes outside the course.
