India Resumes Air Services at 32 Airports Following Ceasefire with Pakistan:

Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Following the India and Pakistan ceasefire agreement, the air travel in India is returning to normal. The Civil Aviation Ministry has formally withdrawn the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) that had suspended air services from 32 airports across the country. This action came in the wake of border hostilities getting lower and successful negotiations between the DGMO of both the countries.

The Order stemmed from Pahalgam attack and India’s retort of Operation Sindoor. The subsequent Pakistani counteraction of striking Indian civilian territories led to the suspension of operating air services from vital airports. With the diplomatic weather improving, services have been restored.

“Air operations at the under fire airports have been restored as services are not longer restricted,” reaffirmed CNBC-Awaaz reporter Rohan Singh. He affirmed all restrictions had been removed by the authority and 25 of the cancelled routes were instructed to be reactivated. Regular services resumed from vital hubs such as Jammu, Chandigarh, Leh, Amritsar, Bhuj and Jalandar.

Leading the way, InterGlobe Aviation IndiGo has announced the resumption of services on the previously suspended routes. The airline has also relaxed its cancellation and rescheduling fees waivers on cancellations and rescheduled flights till May 22. Despite some lingering hold-ups, passengers are advised to check for updates.

SpiceJet and AI are expected to roll out their plans imminently. Other airlines are bound to follow suit. As airlines restore normal schedules, these restarts are likely to occur in stages.

Full operational capability has been reestablished with the regions and local air travel, easing the burden on thousands of travelers and bolstering confidence in flying after a sensitive phase concerning internal security concerns.
