Suspense crime, Digital Desk : On May 13, 2025, both IndiGo and Air India cancelled flights to and from nine key airports in North and West India. The impacted airports include: Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, and Srinagar, as well as Jodhpur, Jamnagar, Bhuj, and Rajkot. These cancellations stem from increased security worries within the region.
Airport operations in these regions were initially suspended on May 7 because of increased hostilities between India and Pakistan. Although flights resumed for a short duration, they have once again been canceled for security concerns.
