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.
