New Delhi. Passengers traveling by air should leave for their journey today only after checking the status of their flight from home. Because, two major airlines of the country have canceled their flights to many cities.
Indigo and Air India have canceled all flights to and from Jammu, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Leh, Srinagar, Jodhpur, Jamnagar, Bhuj and Rajkot till May 13, 2025 due to security related reasons.
