On Sunday, May 11, 2025, Delhi Airport issued a travel advisory to passengers amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, triggered by Islamabad’s ceasefire violation just hours after a tentative “bilateral understanding” was reached following four days of intense clashes. The advisory comes as diplomatic relations deteriorate, heightening security concerns across northern India.
Delhi Airport authorities urged travellers to stay updated with official announcements, warning of possible flight schedule changes and extended wait times at security checkpoints. The measures reflect the airport’s response to the volatile situation, prioritising passenger safety while managing operational challenges caused by the ongoing India-Pakistan conflict.
In a statement, Delhi Airport said the operations continue to run smoothly, but “in light of evolving airspace dynamics and heightened security protocols mandated by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security, there may be adjustments to flight schedules and longer wait times at security checkpoints.”
