Operation Sindoor Disrupts Air Travel: 90 Flights Cancelled at Delhi Airport

Operation Sindoor's execution has caused major disruptions at airports across India, with substantial impacts on the aviation sector. A total of 90 flights, including several international ones, have been grounded at Delhi Airport following airspace restrictions owing to military actions against terror targets.

The closure of airports in response to recent retaliation strikes on Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir prompted massive flight cancellations nationwide. Around 27 airports were temporarily shut down, affecting numerous flights, highlighting the broader ramifications of military actions on civil aviation.

Delhi International Airport Ltd. has assured travelers that efforts are underway to mitigate further disruptions. Operations at the Indira Gandhi International Airport remain consistent, with DIAL coordinating with airlines and authorities to address the changing conditions and to ensure as little impact on flight schedules as possible.
