  • Some international routes may be diverted due to regional airspace restrictions.

The situation

Recent Indian military operations have resulted in significant implications for air travel, especially to few parts of northern India.

A closer look

Change Impact

Domestic flight impacts. Airports in Srinagar, Jammu, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, and Dharamshala are currently non-operational until further notice. The situation is fluid, and as of May 8, 2025, there are other closed airports. Travelers should check with their airline and official airport information such as the Ministry of Civil Aviation website for up-to-date information.

Update May 12, 2025: Many airports have reopened. Travelers should check with their airline prior to travel. 

Travelers may experience delays or cancellations for departures, arrivals, and connecting flights. Travelers should verify their flight status prior to travel.

International flight impacts. Some international routes may be diverted due to regional airspace restrictions.

Travelers should consult with airlines regarding alternate travel options and may expect increased scrutiny at immigration checkpoints. 

Airline suspensions. Multiple airlines have temporarily suspended flights to few parts of northern India due to airspace restrictions and airport closure. 

Travelers should contact their respective airlines for the latest updates.

Background

These precautionary measures have been implemented by Indian authorities in response to current security concerns. We are closely monitoring related developments and will report on travel-related updates in this alert.

Looking ahead

Given the evolving nature of the situation, travelers planning to visit or transit through affected areas should stay informed through official sources only and consult their airlines or travel agencies and adhere to government advisories.

India’s immigration department operations, in general, remain unaffected. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide timely updates as more information becomes available.
