Civil flight operations have resumed at all 32 airports in the north and western regions, which were temporarily closed following heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. The development comes after no cross-border firing was reported along the Line of Control on Sunday night.
In a release on Monday, the civil aviation ministry advised passengers to contact their respective airlines to check the latest update regarding flight operations. "Temporary closure of 32 Airports for civil Aircraft operations till 05:29 hrs of 15 May 2025 has been lifted. These Airports are now available for civil aircraft operations with immediate effect," it said.
The ministry added, "Travellers are advised to check flight status directly with the airlines and monitor airline’s websites for regular updates."
For the first time since heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, no ceasefire violation was reported along the Line of Control and International Border on Sunday. India launched 'Operation Sindoor' targeting terror bases in Pakistan on May 7. India conducted the military operation to avenge the deaths of 26 persons, including 25 tourists and a local horse owner in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22.
However, in retaliation, Pakistan launched drones and projectiles targeting key Indian military assets at 26 locations across the border. Indian air defence systems successfully thwarted the strike. The tensions escalated after India struck key military bases in Pakistan in retaliation.
Considering the escalated situation, the civil aviation ministry announced the closure of 32 airports during the early hours of Saturday. Civil flight operations in 25 segments of Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes within the Delhi and Mumbai Flight Information Regions (FIRs) were also suspended due to "operational reasons".
India and Pakistan decided to stop firing on Saturday during a hotline conversation between the Directorate General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. The DGMOs will conduct second round of talks on Monday.
