AMRITSAR, May 16 -- Operation of both international and domestic flights partially resumed at Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport in Amritsar on Thursday, nearly a week after suspension.

The airport was closed on May 7 due to heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. Although a ceasefire was declared, flight operations were delayed due to ongoing security concerns, particularly the threat of drone attacks from Pakistan.

On Wednesday, five flights were operated and the number increased to 15 on Thursday. The number of flights is expected to rise as normalcy returns. However, security remains tight at the airport, with only vehicle drivers allowed entry.
