Srinagar, October 20 : Srinagar International Airport has withdrawn restrictions on its operational hours, paving the way for flights beyond 5 pm ahead of the implementation of the winter flight schedule on October 25.
According to the airport authorities, operations will no longer be limited to 8 am to 5 pm. Flights can now be scheduled beyond these hours in accordance with the applicable timetable and operational requirements.
The restrictions had been in place since April this year to facilitate runway upgrade work being carried out by the Indian Air Force.
With the winter schedule for 2026 set to come into effect on October 25, airlines have started the process of seeking slots for late-evening flights to and from Srinagar. The move is expected to improve air connectivity and offer passengers greater flexibility during the winter season.
Airport authorities have advised passengers to check the latest flight status and departure timings with their respective airlines before leaving for the airport.
