NEW DELHI:

A separate NOTAM issued for re-opening the international flight routes said all 25 routes were now available.

The decision to reopen airports and routes came after the Indian Air Force (IAF) early on Monday said "no activities" were reported in the border areas.

"The night remained largely peaceful across Jammu and Kashmir and other areas along the international border. No incidents have been reported, marking the first calm night in recent days," said the IAF in a statement.

The authorities have started reopening the airports, said two officials from the AAI.

The NOTAMs accessed by HT said airports under the Mumbai Flight Information Region, such as Mundra, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Porbandar, Kandla, Keshod, and Bhuj, have been reopened while Srinagar, Jammu, Hindon, Sarsawa, Uttarlai, Awantipur, Ambala, Kullu, Ludhiana, Kishangarh, Patiala, Shimla, Kangra, Bathinda, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Halwara, Pathankot, Leh, and Chandigarh airports have been notified to resume operations.

A NOTAM is a written notice to aviation stakeholders announcing a particular change in the airspace of an airport or a country.
