India-Pak ceasefire: Is your flight on time? Check dos and don’ts here as Delhi & Mumbai airports issue fresh advisories
India News: Despite the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan on Saturday (May 10), Delhi Airport issues fresh advisory as tensions continue to escalate
Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Delhi Airport and Mumbai Airport on Sunday (May 11) issued fresh travel advisories for passengers, cautioning of possible delays due to heightened security measures. This comes after Pakistan violated a ceasefire just hours after a bilateral understanding was reached.
Despite the agreement, tensions continue to rise, prompting increased caution in Indian airspace. As a result, the Airports Authority of India (AAI), in coordination with other aviation authorities, has temporarily suspended civil flight operations at 32 airports across northern and western India. This restriction is being enforced through a series of NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen), which will remain in effect from May 9 to May 14, 2025, corresponding to 0529 IST on May 15, 2025.
List of affected airports:
Adampur, Ambala, Amritsar, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bhuj, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Halwara, Hindon, Jaisalmer, Jammu, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu-Manali (Bhuntar), Leh, Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Rajkot (Hirasar), Sarasawa, Shimla, Srinagar, Thoise, and Uttarlai.
Advisories from Delhi & Mumbai airports
A fresh advisory from Delhi Airport, issued on Sunday, confirms that its operations remain unaffected as of now. However, it cautions travellers about potential disruptions due to changing airspace dynamics and new directives issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
