As part of Operation Sindoor, several domestic airlines have canceled flights to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), Punjab, and Rajasthan. The cancellations come after security concerns raised by the ongoing operation in these areas.
The operation, launched by the Indian government in response to a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, has led to heightened security measures in these regions. The government’s decision to cancel flights aims to ensure the safety of passengers and prevent any disruptions caused by the situation.
Airlines have notified passengers about the cancellations and are offering full refunds or rescheduling options for affected travelers. Some flights were canceled to major airports like Srinagar, Amritsar, and Jaipur. Many passengers, who were planning to visit these regions, now face delays and inconvenience due to the flight cancellations.
India’s aviation authorities have confirmed that the cancellations were made to prioritize passenger safety and align with the operational needs of the security forces. While the airlines were urged to cancel flights temporarily, they are expected to resume normal operations once the security situation improves.
The affected travelers have been advised to stay in touch with their airlines for further updates. Many passengers have taken to social media to express frustration, but most understand the need for the cancellations, given the security concerns.
The Indian government has assured citizens that the situation is being closely monitored and that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure the safety of the public. Officials are working with the airlines to minimize disruptions and ensure smooth travel once the operation concludes.
Local authorities in J&K, Punjab, and Rajasthan have also stepped up security measures and are coordinating with airline officials to maintain safety. They are confident that the region will return to normalcy soon, allowing flights and other transportation services to resume without further interruptions.
As of now, passengers are advised to check with their airlines for any updates on flight schedules and cancellations before making travel plans.
