32 Airports Reopen After India-Pakistan Ceasefire: Full List Inside

Airports Reopen: Thirty-two airports which were temporarily closed for civil Aircraft operations have now been opened with immediate effect following the ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

Earlier, these 32 airports were closed for civil Aircraft operations on the 15th of this month.

According to the earlier notice, the closure was originally extended until May 15. But the AAI has now issued Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) to reopen the airports and flight routes.

A separate NOTAM also confirmed that all 25 international air routes have now been made available.

“Attention Flyers; reference notice issued for temporary closure of 32 Airports for civil Aircraft operations till 05:29 hrs of 15 May 2025. It is informed that these Airports are now available for civil Aircraft operations with immediate effect. It is recommended for travellers to check flight status directly with Airlines and monitor Airline’s websites for regular updates,” the aviation body said in a statement.

The authorities started reopening the airports on Sunday morning, said two officials from the AAI, after Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) were issued. A NOTAM is a written notice to aviation stakeholders announcing a particular change in the airspace of an airport or a country. One of the NOTAMs said airports under the Mumbai Flight Information Region, such as Mundra, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Porbandar, Kandla, Keshod, and Bhuj, have been reopened.

Airports such as Srinagar, Jammu, Hindon, Sarsawa, Uttarlai, Awantipur, Ambala, Kullu, Ludhiana, Kishangarh, Patiala, Shimla, Kangra, Bathinda, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Halwara, Pathankot, Leh, and Chandigarh airports were notified to resume operations. HT has seen the NOTAMs.

“The process of issuing [NOTAMS to] all airports is on-going and will be notified soon,” an AAI official said. He added that the resumption of flight operations will depend on respective airlines. “Reopening an airport is not a time-consuming process. The airlines have to plan their flights, which takes time.”

The decision to reopen airports and routes was taken after the Indian Air Force (IAF) early on Monday said “no activities” were reported in the border areas. “The night remained largely peaceful across Jammu and Kashmir and other areas along the International Border. No incidents have been reported, marking the first calm night in recent days,” said the IAF in a statement.

An AAI official explained that while airports are now cleared to reopen, airlines will need time to schedule their flights again. "Reopening an airport is quick, but airlines must plan their flights, which takes time," the official said, as quoted by the Hindustan Times.
