In the interference Night 6 and 7th May triggered Indian Armed Forces SINDOOR OPERATION Remove against the terrorist attack of Pahalgam, in which 26 tourists were killed. The calibrated reaction to the intervening of the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied by Jammu and Kashmir led to a situation where some airport was closed for civilian flights. So far, airlines have announced the abolition of 25 airport flights, including Srinagar, Jammu, Lele, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Shimla, Kulla, Dharamshala, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Bhuj, Kishangarh, Gwalior, Hindul, Hindál.
These include the airports that are operated by the Indian Air Force and have a civic enclave, or are closer to the border areas or have air routes that could be in areas that are corridors for aircraft movement. This ensures that if and when it is necessary to scratch military assets, civilians and civilian aircraft are without damage and is fully focused on the task. I also do not have civilian movements that active movements are not monitored by human intelligence or unintentionally passengers flying from these airports. Although the rule remains that it does not photograph at defensive airports, it is not forced strictly and it depends a lot at the moment.
The closure of airports is currently announced within 2359 hours of universal time 9 May 2025. This means that the airports will be closed within 0529 hours 10 May 2025, Indian standard time. Data obtained from Cirium, Aviation Analytics Company, exclusively for this article, show that some of these airports would affect just over 500 departures between this morning and when notam (announcement for airmen). A similar number of arrivals to these airports will also be influenced. The overall impact is less than 8 % of total domestic flights in India.
Which airlines and airports have the maximum impact?
Chandigar Airport will see the maximum impact on 123 departures, while Srinagar will affect 99 departures and Amritsar will have 90 departures. Indiga passengers will be most affected since 267 years of Indigo, followed by Air India (102 flights) and Air India Express (74).
Some of these airports, like Hindon, have alternate in Delhi, while places like Chandigarh are well connected on the road. Of course, passengers who are stuck in other places can obviously worry about these current times and check with the airline with other steps.
What should passengers do?
There would be two kinds of passengers: those who were supposed to fly today or by the morning on May 10, and those who would not be able to achieve the intended goal. Secondly, those who are currently in these places and were supposed to fly are now stuck due to closure. Airlines offer surrender fees for cancellation and change of tickets without fines in such cases and passengers can best use in all cases.
Passengers should ensure that their contact details are updated with an airline to obtain immediate updates as soon as the airline has made changes. Airlines also offer ticket changes and provide passengers with the opportunity to explore the opportunities from the nearest airport that is functional. With thinning the number of passengers Srinagar And other areas that passengers knew could probably be influenced by ongoing tension, flights are likely to have room for passengers. The immediate attack of Pahalgam was taken care of by an immediate rushing attack and the reaction of the Indian armed forces lost after the passengers who wanted to return immediately were safely back. From now on, there is no council from a government that would avoid specific areas of travel.
Tail note

Military flying is of primary importance and changes are possible that could either extend closure, or in some cases even open the airport before it was announced.
It is important for the passenger to monitor social media announcements, e -maly, messages and communication WhatsApp from the airline and updates from reliable media and authorities to understand what is happening.
