24 Airports Near India-Pakistan Border Temporarily Closed Amid Rising Tensions
Following escalating security threats, India has closed 24 airports near its border with Pakistan, while enhancing security measures nationwide
09-05-2025In response to growing security concerns following the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, the Indian government has temporarily shut down at least 24 airports situated near the Pakistan border. This action comes after a series of drone and missile strikes were launched by Pakistan, targeting various regions in Jammu, Punjab, and Rajasthan. These threats were successfully intercepted by India’s defense systems.
As a result, airlines have issued advisories urging passengers to arrive at least three hours ahead of their flights. Heightened security protocols are now in place at airports across India, and hundreds of flights have been canceled as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.
