According to sources, a total of 24 airports in the northern and western regions of India, including Srinagar and Chandigarh, will remain closed for civilian flights until May 15th. This decision was made earlier this week due to the ongoing military conflict between India and Pakistan.
Airlines have confirmed that all flights to and from these airports have been cancelled until the 15th of May. This has caused inconvenience for many travelers, but it is a necessary precaution in light of the current situation. The affected airports include Chandigarh, Srinagar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bhuntar, Kishengarh, Patiala, Shimla, Dharamsala, and Bathinda.
Other airports that have been temporarily closed for civilian flights are Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Leh, Bikaner, Pathankot, Jammu, Jamnagar, and Bhuj. This has resulted in several flight cancellations and changes for airlines, including Air India and IndiGo.
Air India has announced that they will be cancelling flights to and from nine stations, including Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Bhuj, Jamnagar, and Rajkot. They have also offered a one-time waiver on rescheduling charges or a full refund for cancelled flights during this period.
Similarly, IndiGo has stated that all flights to and from ten destinations, including Srinagar, Jammu, Amritsar, Leh, Chandigarh, Dharamsala, Bikaner, Rajkot, Jodhpur, and Kishangarh, will remain cancelled until May 15th. The airline has reassured customers that these measures have been put in place to prioritize their safety and security.
The military conflict between India and Pakistan has been escalating, with India carrying out strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This retaliation was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the death of 26 people last month.
In conclusion, the temporary closure of these airports is a necessary step for the safety and security of all individuals involved. We hope for a swift resolution to the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan.
