India announced on Monday that it has reopened 32 airports previously closed due to military tensions with Pakistan, following the implementation of a ceasefire over the weekend.
The Airports Authority of India confirmed that these airports have resumed operations for civilian flights with immediate effect.
On the Pakistani side, authorities had already fully reopened their airspace on Saturday, signaling a return to normalcy in air travel after the recent hostilities.
India’s largest carrier, IndiGo, stated that it will gradually resume services along the routes that had been suspended during the escalation.
Despite the reopening, Pakistan’s aviation sources reported on Sunday that over 150 flights were canceled nationwide, including 45 from Karachi, 38 from Lahore, 40 from Islamabad, 10 from Multan, and 11 from Peshawar.
On the same day, reports emerged of continued violations in key urban areas of Indian-administered Kashmir, which had seen the most intense fighting during the four-day conflict.
The ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India was reached on Saturday, shortly after Pakistan launched a retaliatory operation in response to Indian missile strikes.
