According to the civil aviation regulator, 32 airports in the northern and western regions of the country, including Srinagar and Amritsar, have been closed until May 15 and until May 15. The decision was announced earlier on Saturday, which has not diminished since India’s May 7 attack on terrorist camps and Pakistan’s subsequent shelling of the border areas, given the military conflict between India and Pakistan.


The Airport Authority of India (AAI) and relevant aviation authorities have issued a series of notices to Airmen (Notams) announcing the temporary closure of 32 airports in northern and western India for all civil flight operations. DGCA said in a press release that it will take effect from May 9, 2025 to May 14, 2025 (which corresponds to 0529 IST due to operational reasons).


These airports include Adhampur, Ambala, Amritsar, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bhuj, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Halwara, Hindon and Jammu. According to the Civil Space Agency, other airports are Jaisalmer, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar) and Leh. The press release states that Ludhiana, Mandra, Nalia, Patakot, Patyala, Poland Tar, Rajkot (hirasar), Salsawa, Shimla, Srinagar, Tosivas and Utale are closed airports.


Earlier, at least 24 airports were ordered to close for civilian flight operations until May 10. Meanwhile, due to “operational reasons”, AAI has extended the 25-section Air Transport Services (ATS) route (ATS) that temporarily closes section 25 in the Flight Information Area (FIR) of Delhi and Mumbai. “UTC until May 14, 2025 (corresponding to 0529 IST on May 15, 2025), the height from ground to infinite will not be able to go from ground to infinite height,” DGCA said.


As a result of the closure of these segments, regulators have recommended that airlines and flight operators plan alternative routes. It added that the temporary shutdown is being managed in coordination with the relevant ATC units to ensure safety and minimize interference.
