Civilian Flights Set to Resume at 32 Airports Amidst India-Pakistan Tensions

Resumption of Flight Operations

Mumbai: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) announced on Monday that civilian flight services will recommence at 32 airports that were temporarily closed last week due to the military standoff between India and Pakistan.

In response to the escalating tensions, security protocols were heightened, leading to the temporary suspension of operations at these airports located in the northern and western regions of the country.

On Saturday, both nations reached an agreement to cease all military actions and firings across land, air, and sea immediately.

In their statement released on Monday, the AAI confirmed that the 32 airports, which had been closed for civilian flights until 0529 hours on May 15, are now open for operations without delay.

Travelers are advised to verify their flight statuses directly with airlines and to keep an eye on airline websites for the latest updates.

Civilian flight operations at these 32 airports, including those in Srinagar and Amritsar, were halted from May 9 to May 15.

The AAI, in collaboration with other aviation authorities, had issued multiple Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) regarding the temporary closure of these airports for all civilian flight activities.
