Amritsar: Several flights were either cancelled or diverted at Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji International Airport in Amritsar following the Indian government’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ targeting terror launch pads in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The airport is located just 20 km from the Indo-Pak border.

A Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Amritsar was rerouted to Muscat, Oman, after being denied access to Pakistani airspace.

The flight was scheduled to land in Amritsar at 2:10 am. In a separate incident, a SpiceJet flight from Sharjah to Amritsar was also cancelled.

Passengers have been advised to check flight status with their respective airlines before heading to the airport.
