Drones force Amritsar airport shutdown, send 7 flights to Delhi, Chandigarh

Drones were spotted near Amritsar Airport on Sunday night, leading to the temporary suspension of flight operations for over an hour. This caused seven flights that were en route to land at Amritsar to be diverted to Delhi and Chandigarh. Five of these flights eventually returned to Amritsar after the airport resumed operations. According to officials, the Indian Air Force alerted the Air Traffic Control about the drone activity, prompting the formation of a committee to assess potential threats. After confirming no further drone sightings, the airport reopened at 11:15 PM. Passengers shared their experiences on social media, noting the inconvenience but praising the airline crews for managing the situation calmly.
