New Delhi, May 14 (NationPress) The budget airline IndiGo announced on Wednesday that it will be reinstating flight services on all routes that were previously halted due to the ongoing geo-political tensions. IndiGo, along with Air India and other domestic carriers, had canceled flights to various destinations amidst the India-Pakistan conflict.
“Beginning May 15, 2025, we will resume our flight operations on all routes that were temporarily suspended in light of the recent events in the northern part of the country. Some of these flights have already been operational today, and more will be progressively reinstated,” IndiGo stated.
The airline further emphasized that due to the dedicated efforts of its teams, “operations are stabilizing effectively, allowing for better travel planning with confidence and convenience.”
“Passengers are encouraged to verify their flight status on our website or app prior to departure. Updates will be communicated through all official channels. We sincerely thank you for your patience and trust, and we eagerly anticipate welcoming you aboard,” the airline added.
Previously, Air India had mentioned its plans to gradually resume flights to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot.
However, due to recent developments, it had to cancel flights to and from these destinations.
“We are keeping a close watch on the situation and will provide updates,” the airline said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) announced the resumption of civilian flight operations at 32 airports, with the decision to be effective until May 15.
Among the airports cleared for operations include Adhampur, Ambala, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bikaner, Halwara, Hindon, Jaisalmer, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar), Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Sarsawa, Shimla, Thoise, and Uttarlai.
The reopening of these airports was facilitated by a ceasefire agreement reached between India and Pakistan to immediately cease military operations.
