Civil flight operations at key IAF-run airports to be restricted for repair works, upgrades

Civil flight operations at several key airports managed by the Indian Air Force (IAF) are set to face restrictions due to essential repair and upgrade works. The most significant disruptions are anticipated at Jodhpur Airport, where runway re-carpeting will commence in phases starting at the end of the month. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance air traffic infrastructure across four IAF-run airports, which also include Udhampur, Srinagar, and Agra. Authorities have assured that measures will be in place to minimize inconvenience to passengers, with alternate arrangements being considered to maintain essential flight services. These improvements are crucial for accommodating increasing air traffic and ensuring safety standards. The planned upgrades reflect the IAF's commitment to modernizing its facilities to better serve both military and civilian needs in the region.
