Flight Updates from Jammu and Srinagar

Jammu/Srinagar: IndiGo has announced that it will resume nine out of its eleven flights from Jammu Airport, while seven flights from Srinagar have been cancelled due to pilot rostering challenges affecting operations nationwide.

The restoration of flights from Jammu has provided relief to many passengers who were stranded following a series of cancellations. Conversely, at Srinagar International Airport, a total of eight flights, including seven operated by IndiGo, were cancelled.

Officials indicated that IndiGo had planned to run 36 flights from Srinagar on Saturday, comprising 18 inbound and 18 outbound flights.

However, due to the rostering complications, seven flights were cancelled both arriving and departing, along with another flight from a different airline.

Further updates are pending, according to officials.

While the nine resumed flights at Jammu Airport will operate as planned, an airline representative mentioned that two flights connecting Jammu with Mumbai and Hyderabad will remain suspended for the time being.

Rajni Goyal, a relieved passenger, shared her experience at Jammu Airport, stating, "I am going back to Delhi, my flight is working today."

Goyal, who had visited for a wedding, expressed her frustration over the past two days due to the numerous cancellations.

She remarked, "They were not providing us with accurate flight status. We waited for nine hours daily at the airport. I had left my child at home, and he was also waiting for me," expressing her relief as services resumed.

Another passenger, Kashish, noted that while the partial restoration of services is a positive development, uncertainty still prevails.

"I am unsure if I will actually reach my destination since only nine of the eleven flights are operating today," he commented.

Describing the situation as "unprofessional and very sad," he added, "We have paid for the service and expect it. If there were internal issues, they should have resolved them without inconveniencing passengers."

He also claimed that fares for other airlines had skyrocketed from approximately Rs 4,000 to Rs 30,000 following the cancellations, while train services were fully booked. "I suspect there is a nexus involved in this," he alleged.
