Air Traffic Resumes From Srinagar Airport After 2 Days In Kashmir

Air traffic resumed on Saturday after remaining suspended for two days due to poor visibility and heavy snowfall from Srinagar International Airport, where flight services were made operational in the afternoon. However, the morning flights from the only airport in the valley were canceled due to poor visibility. “The air traffic from Srinagar airport resumed after 1300 hrs following improvement in the visibility,”. He said all the flights after 1300 hrs were operating normally. But, the morning flights had to be canceled due to poor visibility following cloudy weather.

Meanwhile, passengers alleged that the airfare has skyrocketed during the last two days. “As the valley was cut off from the rest of the country due to closure of Kashmir highway and Mughal road, the air ticket rates hiked many folds, despite the air traffic also remaining suspended,” Irfan Saleem, a resident of Srinagar
