Following the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, air services have resumed at 32 airports across India.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has lifted the NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) order, allowing operations to restart immediately.
This follows a period of suspended air services due to escalating tensions, which included the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.
After Pakistan targeted residential areas in India, flight services were temporarily halted as a safety measure. However, with the ceasefire in place, these restrictions have now been lifted.
Air Services Are Back to Normal
According to our CNBC-Awaaz correspondent Rohan Singh, air services have now returned to normal at the affected airports.
The government has officially withdrawn all orders for airport closures and has allowed the resumption of 25 previously canceled flight routes.
Airports in cities like Jammu, Chandigarh, Leh, Amritsar, Bhuj, and Jalandhar are among those now operating again.
IndiGo Resumes Flights on Closed Routes
IndiGo, a major airline, has confirmed that it will restart its services on the routes that were previously closed.
However, the airline has cautioned that some flights might experience delays.
IndiGo has also stated that passengers can continue to avail themselves of the waiver on cancellation and rescheduling fees until May 22.
Other Airlines Expected to Follow Suit
Rohan Singh further mentioned that other airlines may soon announce their plans to resume services on the affected routes.
It is expected that airlines such as Air India and SpiceJet could also make similar announcements in the near future. Airlines are likely to restart operations gradually in the coming days.
