In a significant relief for air travellers, tourism stakeholders and the wider business community in Kashmir Valley, the authorities at the Srinagar International Airport on Saturday announced the withdrawal of the proposed weekly runway closure plan, confirming that flight operations will continue on all seven days of the week without any full-day suspension of services.
According to an official operational update issued by the airport authorities, the
earlier proposed Notice to Airmen (NOTAM), which had envisaged complete runway closures on Mondays and Tuesdays as part of the ongoing runway resurfacing and rehabilitation project, has now been withdrawn.
The decision ensures uninterrupted flight operations throughout the year and addresses growing concerns raised by the tourism industry, airlines and passengers over the potential disruption such closures could have caused during the peak travel season.
