\n

As we would all know by now, India performed a military action overnight<\/a> to respond to the terror attacks in Pehelgam in April 2025. This has escalated into a crossfire on both sides. In preparation of future eventualities, the Government of India had \u00a0ordered various airports in North India to be shut temporarily as of May 7, 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Airports across north and west India shut till May 15, 2025 0529 Hours.<\/h3>\n

Several airports across northern and western India were shut for civilian flights between May 7-10, 2025. This closure has been extended through May 15, 2025 (0529 Hours) for now. \u00a0The following airports are shut:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Chandigarh<\/li>\n
  2. Srinagar<\/li>\n
  3. Amritsar<\/li>\n
  4. Ludhiana<\/li>\n
  5. Bhuntar<\/li>\n
  6. Kishengarh<\/li>\n
  7. Patiala<\/li>\n
  8. Shimla<\/li>\n
  9. Kangra-Gaggal<\/li>\n
  10. Bathinda<\/li>\n
  11. Jaisalmer<\/li>\n
  12. Jodhpur<\/li>\n
  13. Bikaner<\/li>\n
  14. Halwara<\/li>\n
  15. Pathankot<\/li>\n
  16. Jammu<\/li>\n
  17. Leh<\/li>\n
  18. Mundra<\/li>\n
  19. Jamnagar<\/li>\n
  20. Hirasar \/ Rajkot<\/li>\n
  21. Porbandar<\/li>\n
  22. Keshod<\/li>\n
  23. Kandla<\/li>\n
  24. Bhuj<\/li>\n
  25. Gwalior<\/li>\n
  26. Hindon \/ Ghaziabad<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Arguably, many of these airports double up as air force facilities rather than just civilian airports or are in places where an operation or a response is expected. Also, closing down the air corridor allows for an easier monitoring of the airspace for threats. This is how the airspace looks as of 1140 hours. As you can see, everything above Delhi is shut.<\/p>\n

    It is unclear how long this heightened situation is expected to last, but for the next day or so, airports might remain closed, affecting many people\u2019s travel plans. It is a good idea to check your flight before leaving home.<\/p>\n

    Bottomline<\/h3>\n

    Air traffic operations across north India and western India will be on the verge of disruption, as many airports have been shut for the time being as a preventive measure. If you are destined to fly to one of these airports, remember to check with the airline before you depart home.<\/p>\n
