Delhi Airport Remains Open: Flights Running, But Delays Possible
Delhi Airport Operations Continue Despite Tensions
Delhi International Airport Limited has reassured travelers that operations at the airport are running smoothly, despite heightened security measures and airspace concerns following the recent India-Pakistan conflict. This comes after nearly 100 flights were canceled on Sunday, impacting both domestic and international travel.
Impact on Flights and Security
While the airport is fully operational, travelers should be aware that some flight schedules may be disrupted due to evolving airspace conditions and stricter security protocols implemented by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. Passengers can expect longer security processing times.
Advice for Travelers
The airport has issued several recommendations for passengers:
- Stay updated: Passengers are urged to check with their respective airlines for the latest flight information.
- Arrive early: Allow ample time for potential delays at security checkpoints.
- Follow regulations: Adhere to all hand baggage and check-in luggage regulations.
- Cooperate with staff: Be patient and cooperative with airline and security personnel.
- Rely on official sources: Verify information from official sources and avoid sharing unconfirmed reports.
Temporary Airport Closures
Earlier, at least 32 airports across northern and western India were temporarily shut down as a precautionary measure due to the ongoing conflict. These closures were in effect from May 9th to May 14th, 2025, and impacted airports in states like Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Jammu & Kashmir.
Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) operates Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), the busiest airport in India.
