Earlier in the day, several airports had been shut owing to the security situation, especially in border areas. Various airlines had also issued advisories informing people of flight cancellations and impacts.

On May 7, hours after Operation Sindoor was launched in Pakistan by India, more than 200 flights were cancelled and around 18 airports were shut for civilians, keeping in mind the security situation.

Several border areas have been evacuated and civilian movement has been restricted following the tense security situation between the two neighbouring countries.
