Air India faces ₹4,000-crore hit from Pak airspace closure: CEO Campbell Wilson

New Delhi/Mumbai: Tata Group’s Air India faces a ₹4,000-crore ($500 million) hit from the closure of Pakistan’s air space from June 2025 following that country’s short military conflict with India the previous month, its top executive said at an event in New Delhi on Wednesday.

“That’s clearly a big sum in anyone’s book,” Campbell Wilson, the airline’s chief executive, said at the Aviation India and South Asia 2025 conclave. “It isn’t something that anyone had anticipated. It literally came out of the blue.”
