New Delhi:
The government of India has added seven airports in Gujarat to the most recent Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restrictions amid increased border tensions. Following a string of unsuccessful aerial threats from over the border, the decision is part of increased national security measures.
The Gujarati airports of Jamnagar, Rajkot (Hirasar), Porbandar, Keshod, Kandla, Bhuj, and Mundra (Adani) have all been closed to civil aviation out of the 24 airports for which NOTAMs have been issued.
To preserve air safety and guarantee military operational preparedness, the NOTAM temporarily limits aviation operations.
