Following IndiGo’s announcement, Air India has also cancelled its flight operations to and from eight locations on Tuesday, May 13. The decision has been taken in light of the latest developments, with safety of passengers being the top priority. The affected cities include Jammu, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh and Rajkot.

Notably, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday had announced the reopening of 32 airports across northern and western India for civil flight operations, three days after their temporary closure was extended until Thursday next (May 15) amid escalating India-Pakistan tensions.

Delhi Airport Issues Advisory

Passengers have been advised to:

Stay informed through updates from their respective airlines.

Follow hand baggage and check-in luggage regulations.
