|Hindustan Times Chandigarh
As the number of tourists coming to the Valley dropped drastically after the Pahalgam terrorist attack and the subsequent anti-terror Operation Sindoor by India, the number of flights to and from the Srinagar airport has been cut to half even as the airfares have seen a dip.
SRINAGAR:
According to the officials, the airport, which earlier operated 90 to 100 flights every day, now runs almost 50. On Thursday, 44 flights flew to and out of the Srinagar international airport.
"A total of 44 flights operated at the airport on Thursday with the arrival of 3,197 passengers and departure of 3,487," said an airport official.
Tour and travel operators say the airfares have dropped by two-third as compared to the same period last year or before the April 22 attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam.
At least 26 people, 25 tourists and a local, were killed in the terror strike.
