These airports are among those that were reopened for civilian flights on Monday after being temporarily shut amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday announced that civilian flight operations will resume at 32 airports that were temporarily shut last week until May 15.
The other airports that were allowed to resume civilian flight operations were Adhampur, Ambala, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bikaner, Halwara, Hindon, Jaisalmer, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar), Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Sarsawa, Shimla, Thoise and Uttarlai.
The announcement came two days after India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire.
Tensions between the two countries simmered following a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22.
After finding cross-border links to the attack that left 26 people dead, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7 and struck nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). India destroyed multiple camps of terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen and killed more than 100 terrorists.
After the Indian armed forces’ overnight operations, the Pakistani Army launched drones and missiles at western parts of India, which were successfully intercepted.

India then hit selected military targets deep inside Pakistani territory, such as radar installations, command and control centres, and ammunition depots in Rafiqui, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Sialkot, among others.
The two countries reached a ceasefire agreement on Saturday to halt military actions with immediate effect.
