In the wake of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, all civilian and commercial flight activities at Gwalior's Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Airport have been suspended until May 9, as per an official statement on Wednesday.
Utilizing the runway of the Indian Air Force's Maharajpura airbase, a critical hub for fighter aircraft, the airport has been temporarily closed to civilian and commercial planes, confirmed Gwalior Airport Director Kashinath Yadav. The closure has also been communicated via social media channels.
