Srinagar, May 12 : After days of uncertainty caused by heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, which led to the cancellation of seven Hajj flights from May 7 to 12, the pilgrimage flights from Srinagar airport are set to resume from May 14, with two flights scheduled on Wednesday, officials announced.
The Executive Officer of the J&K Haj Committee, Dr Shujhat Qureshi, informed the news agency— that the flights were temporarily halted due to the prevailing situation. However, with improvements in security and operational conditions, Hajj flight operations are now being restored.
“Flights will operate from May 14, with two flights scheduled that day,” Dr Qureshi said. “Each flight will carry approximately 320 pilgrims.”
