32 airports shut for civilian flight operations till May 15: DGCA

New Delhi: Thirty-two airports across northern and western parts of the country, including Srinagar and Amritsar, have been closed for civilian flight operations till May 15, according to the civil aviation regulator.

The decision, announced early Saturday, comes in view of the military conflict between India and Pakistan that continued unabated since India’s May 7 strikes on terror camps and Pakistan’s subsequent shelling of border areas.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) and relevant aviation authorities have issued a series of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) announcing the temporary closure of 32 airports across northern and western India for all civil flight operations.
