India has shut airports at Pathankot, Leh, Srinagar, and Jammu, the official said. Airports in Chandigarh and Amritsar have also been closed, an industry source told Reuters. Meanwhile, Indian airline Vistara said on Wednesday flights to and from four cities in northern India are on hold as tensions between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan escalate. Due to airspace restrictions, flights to and from Amritsar, Srinagar, Chandigarh and Jammu are currently on hold. It was Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor, who first broke the news of airspace violation by Indian jets along the Line of Control (LoC).
