For the better half of 2019, the Pakistan airspace remained shut down on the eastern side, finally to re-open on Tuesday, 16 July. When we say better half, we mean five long months, ever since the Balakot air strikes, and that affected as many as 400 flights on some days.
In this episode of The Big Story, we deep dive into why the airspace was shut to begin with, how did that affect Indians and what is the impact of the re-opening of the airspace. We spoke to passengers who were affected by this decision, and former Air Marshal PS Ahluwalia for this podcast. Tune in!
