India's 32 airports set to resume operations as NOTAMs cancelled: Report
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 12, 2025, 10:57 IST
In a major relief for the aviation and tourism sector, airport officials have informed CNBC-TV18 that the Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) ordering the closure of 32 airports near the India-Pakistan border will be cancelled shortly. New NOTAMs will be issued to facilitate the reopening of these airports, which were shut amid rising military tensions last week.
While the move marks a return to normalcy, airlines may take some time to resume operations, as passengers must be informed in advance, officials said.
The announcement triggered strong buying across travel and tourism-linked stocks on Monday. Shares of Easy Trip Planners jumped over 5.6%, Ixigo gained nearly 4%, and Lemon Tree Hotels rose 5.3%. The Nifty India Tourism Index was also up over 4% intraday.
The easing of border tensions and restoration of airspace is expected to help the sector recover from last week's disruptions, during which over 430 flights were reportedly cancelled.

Shaquille O'Neal agrees to pay $1.8M to settle FTX crypto endorsement
June 13 (UPI) -- Shaquille O'Neal, the retired basketball star and NBA analyst, has agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle claims that he misled investors by promoting the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX. O'Neal, who urged fans to trust the platform in a commercial, won't admit wrongdoing. He reportedly earned much less to make the commercial that aired in June 2022: around $750,000, Front Office Sports reported. The settlement Monday marks one of the first high-profile settlements over FTX's collapse, CNBC reported. The civil case in Miami federal court. O'Neal must pay the amount within 30 days. An initial settlement was reached in November. In the class-action suit, O'Neal is accused of presenting FTX as a trustworthy and legitimate investment tool while allegedly helping drive the adoption of unregistered securities. Eligible are users who deposited money into FTX or held its proprietary token, FTT, between May 2019 and late 2022. O'Neal's $1.8 million payout will cover all legal fees, notice and administration costs, and payouts to those eligible. Also, he is released from future liability and is barred from seeking reimbursement from the FTX bankruptcy estate. "We are pleased to have this matter behind us," O'Neal's attorney said in a statement. In 2022, O'Neal told CNBC he "was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial." At the time he said he didn't know much about crypto currency. "I don't understand it, so I will probably stay away from it until I get a full understanding of what it is," he told CNBS. "From my experience, it is too good to be true." Other FTX endorsers, including Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen and Steph Curry, had claims against them largely dismissed. FTX, a company in the Bahamas, was the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange three years ago but it racked up billions of dollars or losses and filed for bankruptcy on Nov. 11, 2022. Founder Sam Bankman-Fried isserving a 25-year prison sentence for seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the FTX collapse. O'Neal, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson are moving from TNT next season when "Inside the NBA" appears on ESPN.
