Srinagar Airport Flight Operations Resume After Heavy Snowfall Halt
January 24, 2026
Flight operations at Srinagar Airport resumed on Saturday, January 24, 2026, after a one-day break caused by heavy snowfall. Officials said the Airports Authority of India, working with the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), cleared the apron and taxiways in the morning, making the runway ready. The heavy snow on Friday had forced a complete stop of flights due to snow buildup on the runway. "The flight operations have resumed at the airport as a flight has just landed at the aerodrome," officials confirmed. They added, "A joint inspection was carried out and flight operations were resumed," and flights are expected to run smoothly now. Despite normal resumption, an Indigo flight was cancelled early on Saturday due to bad weather. Some other flights were cancelled because of a NOTAM issued at Delhi. A few flights also faced delays, officials reported. The airport is now back in action, welcoming passengers after the winter storm disruption.
