An eight‑hour runway restriction at Amritsar’s Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport has been lifted, with flight operations set to return to normal under the winter timetable.
Amritsar’s Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport announced that the eight‑hour runway restriction imposed earlier today has been removed. The airport authority confirmed that normal flight operations will resume, but only according to the winter schedule currently in force.
The restriction, which affected both arrivals and departures, was lifted after the issue that prompted the closure was resolved, though officials did not disclose specific technical details. Airlines have been instructed to adhere to the winter timetable, which typically features reduced frequencies and adjusted slot timings.
Passengers who were delayed during the restriction are being accommodated on subsequent flights, and the airport has urged travelers to check with their carriers for the latest schedule updates. The development was reported by Amar Ujala.
