As tensions between India and Pakistan escalate, Malaysians currently living or planning to travel to the region are urged to stay alert, and keep themselves informed about safety measures and travel disruptions, particularly in Northern India, recent developments have not only impacted air travel but also prompted safety advisories from the Malaysian government. Here’s what you need to know:

Closure of 32 Airports in India:

In response to cross-border conflict, India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has temporarily closed 32 airports across northern and western regions of the country from 9th May to 15th May 2025. The closure said to be for ‘operational reasons’, follow a wave of drone attacks launched on 8th-9th May. These strikes were primarily directed at Jammu, Punjab and Rajasthan regions.

Affected airports include hubs such as Srinagar (SXR), Amritsar (ATQ), Jammu (IXJ), Leh, Chandigarh, Bhuj and Shimla, among others. The movie has forced carriers like Air India (AI) and IndiGo (6E) to cancel or divert hundreds of flights with IndiGo alone reporting 165 cancellations. Flights have also been rerouted via the Arabian Sea to avoid Pakistani airspace, leading to longer flight times and increased fuel costs.

So far, no Malaysians have been reported injured or effected by the recent incidents.

“Malaysian’s there, especially students, are advised to avoid visiting dangerous places, especially Kashmir and cancel their trips there”, he said, adding that the government is closely monitoring the situation and maintains open communication with both India and Pakistan.
