Flight Halt: Srinagar Airport Remains Closed Amid Tensions

Srinagar International Airport's civilian flights will stay suspended until midnight, May 15, due to rising tensions between India and Pakistan. The airport closure follows India's missile strikes on Pakistani territories, retaliatory actions prompted by a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam region.

Civilian flight operations at Srinagar International Airport will remain suspended until midnight on May 15, authorities announced Friday, amid ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

An official from the Airports Authority of India confirmed the closure: "Please note that Srinagar Airport is closed up to 2359 hours of 14.05.2025 for flight operations."

This decision follows the May 7 closure after India launched missile strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan, in retaliation for an April 22 terror attack near Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, that claimed the lives of 26 people, including 25 tourists.
