In light of escalating tensions with Pakistan, 27 airports across India have been temporarily shut down, and airport security has been significantly intensified. Major carriers like IndiGo, Air India, and Akasa Air have issued urgent travel advisories, urging passengers to check flight statuses, arrive early, and prepare for potential delays or cancellations.

Why Are Airports Being Closed?

The closures come in the wake of early morning military actions on Wednesday, around 1:30 AM, prompting the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to issue two critical NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen):

First NOTAM: Issued early morning, suspending operations at 18 airports
Second NOTAM: Released at 3:20 PM, adding 9 more airports to the closure list

These measures are being taken to ensure national security and affect both civilian and defence airfields.
