So far, you have permission errors. Have you tried closing your csv file open in another program? [This other question](https://stackoverflow.com/q/50083806/4756173) might help you. — Philippe Fanaro, Apr 23 '20 at 22:15

You simply don't have permission to read that file (or it may be a directory).

It looks like you're user hp (based on c:\users\hp) and the data file is probably owned by someone called airline1 (based on c:\users\airline1).

You'll have to ask airline1 to grant you permission to read the file.
