90E cuts through Bangladesh. India looks to be wholly Atlantic.
Right...but I think most people would agree that India is in Asia, which is by definition, Pacific flying. 60*E makes more geographical sense to me, but then, nobody asked me.
In either case it gets counted as part of the total block hours, but it matters which theater it gets counted for, because that means less other flights required in that theater to meet the block floor.
