NEW DELHI: Operations at the nine airports, which were shut earlier in the day, have resumed "as of now", PTI quoted aviation watchdog DGCA as saying. A spokesperson of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said, "As of now, ops to these airports resumed (sic)." Earlier in the day, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) issued a notice to airmen (NOTAM), saying flight operations at the airports in Srinagar, Jammu, Leh, Pathankot, Amritsar, Shimla, Kangra, Kullu Manali and Pithoragarh will remain shut from February 27 to May 27. The AAI owns and manages more than 100 airports, including those shut temporarily Wednesday, in the country. The move to suspend operations the airports had come amid escalation of tensions between India and Pakistan after the IAF carried out strikes on terror bases in Pakistan.
