After months of tension, something big happened this weekend. A ceasefire was put in place between India and Pakistan on Saturday. Just two days later, on Monday, the Indian government made a major decision. It gave the green light for 32 airports to reopen — these airports were earlier shut down due to rising military conflict, especially near border areas like Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab.
This one move didn’t just bring relief to travelers. It also kicked off a market upswing.

Aviation Stocks Soar Like Never Before

As soon as markets opened on Monday, aviation stocks shot up like rockets. Investors rushed to grab shares of companies like IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet. Hope that with peace talks and open skies, business will take off again.
IndiGo’s stock touched Rs 5,485 during trading. SpiceJet wasn’t far behind and climbed to Rs 46.61. Both stocks surged almost 10% in a single day — a sign of investor confidence bouncing back.

Airports Back in Action

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) made it official. All of the 32 airports closed for a short period because of tension between India and Pakistan — giant ones like Amritsar and Srinagar — will take off from tomorrow. They stayed closed between May 9 and May 15. But now, the skies are clear.

In a public statement, AAI ensured that the airports would resume operations “with immediate effect.” Passengers were requested to check with their respective airlines and keep an eye out for official pages for live updates. The earlier shutdown NOTAMs had been cancelled.

Airlines Ready to Take to the Skies Again

Air India was not slow to follow. According to airline officials, air travel is resuming to places like Amritsar, Leh, Srinagar and Jammu. It extended its thanks for everyone’s understanding and urged passengers to remain informed through regular updates.

IndiGo also jumped into action. The airline has already reopened routes such as Delhi to Chandigarh, Jammu, and Amritsar starting May 12. More services are scheduled in the near future. IndiGo has asked customers to visit their website, www.goindigo.in, or contact support at customer.experience@goindigo.in for assistance.

From grounded flights to roaring skies, peace has brought a breath of fresh air — and opportunity — for the aviation industry.
