NEW DELHI: Air India on Tuesday announced the cancellation of round-trip flight operations at eight airports—Jammu, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot—for May 13.
The decision follows a similar move by IndiGo, which also suspended operations at several northern and western airports including Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, and Rajkot.
“In view of the latest developments and prioritizing passenger safety, all flights to and from Jammu, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot are cancelled for Tuesday, May 13,” Air India said in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter). “We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as needed.”
Earlier, Air India had announced plans to resume operations at the affected airports following a government notification on the reopening of airspace.
“Air India is working to progressively restore flight services to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot,” the airline added. “We appreciate passengers’ understanding as we work to normalize operations. Further updates will be shared in due course.”
