Srinagar International Airport will undergo runway maintenance that temporarily suspends flights multiple times over the coming months. According to reports, from July onward, airport operations are scheduled to shut for two days each week, with flights halted on Monday and Tuesday. These twice-weekly closures are planned to continue through September.
In addition to the weekly shutdowns, the airport will close for a longer continuous period starting October 1. Multiple outlets report that Srinagar Airport will remain shut for 15 days, running from October 1 to October 15, as part of the maintenance work.
The maintenance schedule is intended to support runway upkeep, though the articles note that the repeated suspensions and the extended closure raise concerns among locals about impacts on travel and business. Outlets also refer readers to the operational schedule for the specific closure days and the extended shutdown period.
