Bhuj: The Union government has revoked the Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for 32 airports across northern and north-western India, including eight in Gujarat, which had been temporarily closed for civilian flights until May 15.

This decision comes after the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, announced over the weekend. On Monday morning, the Airports Authority of India (AAI), in its latest notification, stated, “Attention Flyers: Reference notice issued for the temporary closure of 32 airports for civil aircraft operations until 05:29 hrs on May 15, 2025. It is informed that these airports are now available for civil aircraft operations with immediate effect.”

The Gujarat airports that were shut due to the NOTAMs included Bhuj, Jamnagar, Kandla, Keshod, Mundra (Adani), Naliya (Air Force Station), Porbandar, and Rajkot (Hirasar). With the NOTAMs withdrawn, flight schedules are expected to gradually normalize.

In addition to the eight Gujarat airports, key airports across northern India that were shut included Chandigarh, Srinagar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bhuntar, Kishangarh, Patiala, Shimla, Dharamsala, Jammu, Jodhpur, and Bathinda.

The closure of these airports, which was a result of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, caused more than 500 flight cancellations, with many airlines offering full refunds or rescheduling options to affected passengers.

AAI has also advised travelers to verify their flight status directly with airlines and stay updated through the official websites of their respective carriers for the latest announcements and schedule changes. DeshGujarat
