Civilian flights at major airports like Srinagar and Amritsar were suspended from May 9 to May 15. The closures were officially announced through aviation alerts known as NOTAMs, which were issued by AAI and other aviation authorities.
Now that the restrictions are lifted, normal flight services are expected to resume soon.
