Indo Pak ceasefire: Operations normal at Delhi airport; some flights may be impacted

Indo Pak ceasefire: Delhi airport authorities on Sunday said operations are normal but some flights and the processing time at security checkpoints might be impacted due to the changing airspace dynamics and enhanced security protocols.

Enhanced security measures that were implemented in view of the tensions between India and Pakistan are still in place at airports.

On Saturday, India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect.

“Delhi Airport operations continue as normal. However, due to changing airspace dynamics and enhanced security protocols, some flight schedules and processing times at security checkpoints may be affected,” the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) said in a post on X.

The DIAL operates the national capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) — the busiest airport in the country.

The DIAL has also advised passengers to allow extra time for security checks due to the heightened measures and cooperate with the airline and security personnel for smooth facilitation.

Normally, the airport handles around 1,300 flight movements daily.

Pak has violated bilateral understanding reached this afternoon: Govt sources

Pakistan has violated the bilateral understanding reached this afternoon to immediately stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea, government sources said on Saturday night. This came hours after India announced the understanding following four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes that brought the two countries teetering on the edge of full scale war. The sources said firing from the Pakistani side was reported in Akhnoor sector in Jammu and Kashmir. Drones were also seen in the Pir Panjal area. The decision to stop military action by India and Pakistan was first made public by US President Donald Trump in a surprise announcement in a social media post while claiming that the talks between the two sides were “mediated” by the United States after which “India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE.”
