Delhi airport remains fully operational. Aviation bodies issued NOTAMs about 32 airport closures in cities like Amritsar, Jammu, Chandigarh, Leh, and others.
Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, 32 airports across Northern and Western India have been temporarily closed for operations. Despite the closures, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport remains fully operational.
Delhi airport authorities have issued a passenger advisory urging travelers to stay updated through airline notifications and to follow all safety and baggage guidelines closely due to “evolving airspace dynamics” and “enhanced security protocols.”
"Delhi Airport operations continue as normal. However, due to changing airspace dynamics and enhanced security protocols, some flight schedules and processing times at security checkpoints may be affected," the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a post on X.
