India has reopened 32 airports, including Chandigarh and Srinagar, following a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan, signaling a de-escalation of recent border tensions. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) announced the immediate resumption of civil aviation operations, lifting prior closures that were in effect until May 15. These closures were initially implemented on the Indian Air Force's (IAF) directive amid escalating hostilities. The reopening is expected to alleviate air traffic congestion and benefit both domestic and international carriers. Travelers are advised to check flight statuses directly with airlines and monitor official websites for updates. This development follows the cancellation of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) after the ceasefire agreement between New Delhi and Islamabad. (PC: ET Infra)
