New Delhi:
Thirty-two airports throughout northern and western components of the nation, together with Srinagar and Amritsar, have been closed for civilian flight operations until Could 15, in line with the civil aviation regulator.

The choice, introduced early Saturday, is available in view of the army battle between India and Pakistan that continued unabated since India’s Could 7 strikes on terror camps and Pakistan’s subsequent shelling of border areas.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) and related aviation authorities have issued a sequence of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) saying the momentary closure of 32 airports throughout northern and western India for all civil flight operations.

The closure will likely be efficient from “Could 9, 2025, to Could 14, 2025 (which corresponds to 0529 IST on fifteenth Could 2025), because of operational causes,” DGCA stated in a launch.

The airports embrace Adhampur, Ambala, Amritsar, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bhuj, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Halwara, Hindon, and Jammu.

Different airports are Jaisalmer, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar), and Leh, in line with the Directorate Common of Civil Aviation.

Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Rajkot (Hirasar), Sarsawa, Shimla, Srinagar, Thoise and Uttarlai are the remaining airports to be shut, the discharge stated.

Earlier, at the least 24 airports had been ordered shut for civilian flight operations until Could 10.

In the meantime, the AAI has prolonged the momentary closure of 25 segments of Air Visitors Service (ATS) routes inside the Delhi and Mumbai Flight Info Areas (FIRs) because of “operational causes.” “The 25 route segments will stay unavailable from floor stage to limitless altitude till 2359 UTC on 14th Could 2025 (which corresponds to 0529 IST on fifteenth Could 2025),” DGCA stated.

Due to the closure of those segments, the regulator has suggested airways and flight operators to plan alternate routes.

The momentary closure is being managed in coordination with related ATC items to make sure security and minimise disruption, it added.

On April 30, India shut its airspace for Pakistan airways as a part of retaliatory measures within the wake of the April 22 Pahalgam terror assault that killed 26 individuals.

On April 24, Pakistan closed its airspace for Indian carriers.

On Friday, Air India in a submit on X stated that because of the continued closure of a number of airports in India, its flights to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Bhuj, Jamnagar and Rajkot have been being cancelled until 5.29 am on Could 15.

In a submit on X, IndiGo stated all flights to and from 10 locations will stay cancelled till Could 15 similar time.

An armed battle rages on between India and Pakistan following India’s strike on 9 terror websites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir(PoK) beneath Operation Sindoor early Wednesday in retaliation for the Pahalgam bloodbath.
