Indian airlines suspend flights after missile strikes on terror camps in Pakistan, PoK


ree

NEW DELHI:  Several Indian airlines have suspended flights to and from key northern cities after the armed forces launched missile strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).


The strikes reportedly hit nine locations, including strongholds of terror groups Jaish-e-Mohammad in Bahawalpur and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke.

As the security situation develops, multiple airports—such as Srinagar—have been closed for civilian use, leading to widespread cancellations and diversions.


Air India cancelled all flights to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot until noon. Two international flights bound for Amritsar were diverted to Delhi. “We regret the inconvenience caused due to this unforeseen disruption,” the airline said in a statement on X.


SpiceJet confirmed that northern airports including Dharamshala (DHM), Leh (IXL), Jammu (IXJ), Srinagar (SXR), and Amritsar (ATQ) are currently closed. “Departures, arrivals, and consequential flights may be impacted,” the airline posted.


IndiGo said flight operations to and from Srinagar, Jammu, Amritsar, Leh, Chandigarh, and Dharamshala have been disrupted due to “changing airspace conditions.”


Air India Express reported that many of its flights are affected. Services to and from Amritsar, Jammu, Srinagar, and Hindon have been cancelled until mid-day.


Akasa Air also announced the suspension of all flights to and from Srinagar, saying civil operations at the airport have been halted.

Authorities are monitoring the situation, and passengers are urged to check with airlines before heading to airports for updates.
