Flight operations at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Nový Delhi (Igia) were seriously disturbed on Friday, such as 138 flights – containing domestic and international services – abolished by various airlines. The abolition occurred in the middle of increased safety and developing airspace restrictions as a result of the Sindoor operation, the Indian retaliation military operations focused on the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Obslý Kashmir (POK).
According to the source, on Friday between 5:00 and 14:00 on Friday, 66 home departures, 63 home arrivals, five international departures and four international arrivals were canceled. These disturbances are associated with a temporary closure of 27 airports throughout India, which remain closed after the operation within the ongoing security measures.
The Sindoor Operation, performed on May 7, 2025, started in response to the last month a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people. In the military determination show, the Indian armed forces carried out coordinated air strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan’s territory, including regions in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
Given the operation with air space management and safety protocols, the airport is significantly tightening. Although in Delhi International Airport Limited (Dial), Igia, he said that the airport operations remain functional, in the counseling issued through the Social Media Platform X on Friday, Dial called on the passengers to arrive soon, were patient and cooperate with the airline and security staff to ensure smooth movement. He acknowledged that “changing airspace dynamics and increased safety protocols” could lead to changes in the flight plan and a longer processing time for passengers.
The closure of airports across strategic sites in northern and western India had a cascading effect on the air sector. Several flights were diverted or overwritten due to airspace restrictions in sensitive regions, especially near the line of control (LOC) and international borders.
Airlines are reportedly working on adapting affected passengers on alternative years, but passengers were recommended to regularly check their status of years and remain in contact with carriers for real -time updates.
The authorities did not find out how long the affected airports remain closed, but the situation will continue to be carefully monitored. Further decisions on airport operations and airspace restriction are expected to be based on the assessment of safety and geopolitical development in the coming days.
