New Delhi: Since the closure of the Afghan airspace for commercial flights in mid-August, Delhi-London flying time has increased to almost 9.5 hours.
The airline used a longer route through South Pakistan (under Afghanistan) and then entered the Iran-Turkey – surpassing the shorter Pakistan-Afghan-Turkmenistan / Uzbekistan previously previously.
But on October 7, Air India’s AI 111 flew from Delhi to London in just 8.5 hours thanks to the airline starting to take a new route – the Mighty Hindu Range of Kush – for Nonsstops between Delhi and North America.
AI 111 of October 4 has taken over 9.5 hours because it takes the mid-August PST route longer.
AI 111 Delhi-london.
October 4, 2021, took the route taken since the closing of Afghan Airspace for commercial flights in mid-August.
Flight time: 9 hours and 37 minutes “on North American flights that return, we will save 4 tons of fuel (1 ton while going and 3 on returns).
On the return of the UK again, savings will be 2.5 tons.
Now because Restrictions on travel in the US (elevators from the beginning of November), the number of flights is not too high.
However, we will save 30 tons per week using the Hindu Kush route.
At $ 800 per ton, weekly savings are $ 24,000 or around RS 18 lakh at the exchange rate At present.
Because restrictions are appointed and we install more flights to North America, savings will multiply.
Once Airspace Afghanistan reopened, we will take the old route, “said AI officials recently told Tii.
AI 111 Delhi-London.
October 7, 2021, took the Hindu Kush route from Delhi to London.
Flight time: 8 hours and 41 minutescarrying less fuel will mean more charge in terms of passengers and / or cargo.
So the benefit is, let’s say 4 tons, savings will double this far less fuel rather than taking the same number of additional charges.
This is the flight route that shows exactly what differences and how the Hindu Kush route has been made for an endless AI.
