Following four days of intense clashes between India and Pakistan, the Indian government reopened 32 key airports on Monday—a significant step suggesting temporary stabilization along one of the world’s most volatile borders.

A Respite After the Worst Tensions Since 1999

The decision comes after the two nations reached a ceasefire over the weekend, ending the worst military escalation since the 1999 Kargil conflict. Although the truce was quickly followed by mutual accusations of violations, official reports from both governments indicated that the situation along the border remained calm on Monday.

These airports had been closed the previous week as a precautionary measure amid the escalating conflict. Their reopening aims not only to normalize air services but also to send a signal of stability at both national and international levels.

IndiGo, India’s leading domestic airline, confirmed it would gradually resume operations on routes that had been suspended due to the temporary closures. This move is seen as a key step toward recovering air traffic affected by the crisis.

Regional Impact and Global Attention

The brief but intense confrontation between the two nuclear-armed nations raised alarms in the international community, which feared the outbreak of a large-scale conflict.
