Post-Op Sindoor Escalation Derails Indians' Travel Plans
Mint Chennai
|May 10, 2025
Travel cos flooded with cancellation requests due to airport closures and cross-border firing
Jassy Malik was all set to travel to Amritsar to visit the Harmandir Sahib at the Golden Temple from Delhi with her mother around noon on 7 May when tensions flared up in the aftermath of India's anti-terror strikes in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Air India, Malik's airline of choice, sent her a message saying her onward flight had been cancelled and her return flight on 8 May deferred.
Malik and her mother have now put their plans on hold, along with their hotel booking near the gurdwara, until the situation calms down.
The post-Operation Sindoor escalation in tensions with Pakistan has cast a shadow over Indians' summer travel plans, especially for those heading to northern India or travelling overseas for the holidays.
In the wake of flight cancellations, airport closures, and cross-border firing in areas along the Line of Control (LoC), tour and travel companies are flooded with deferment and last-minute cancellation requests.
