US EditionDelhi airport issues advisory as 24 airports remain shut amid India-Pakistan tensions
- Starting late on Thursday, May 8, 2025, India halted passenger flight operations at 24 airports located in its northern and western regions amid rising hostilities with Pakistan.
- The suspension followed cross-border attacks by Pakistan using drones, missiles, and artillery on the night of May 8, prompting India to launch retaliatory strikes and enhance security.
- Affected airports include Jammu, Leh, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Kangra-Gaggal, Bikaner, Rajkot, and several others, with airlines canceling over 300 flights and advising passengers to report three hours before departure.
- Air India announced that passengers with valid tickets during the airport closures will be eligible for either a one-time waiver on rescheduling fees or a full refund, while authorities have mandated stricter security protocols at airports nationwide.
- These measures reflect heightened border conflicts between India and Pakistan, causing prolonged airspace restrictions and disruptions to civilian air travel until at least May 15, with possible further extensions.
