According to The Hindu, at least 21 airports in India have suspended passenger flights until May 10th following government instructions.

The Hindu also reported that the occupied Kashmir, Srinagar, Leh, Amritsar, Chandigarh, Patiala, Hawala Airport in Punjab State of India, Shimla and Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Kishangarh, Puducherry, and airports in Rajasthan such as Kandla, Kushal, and Puducherry will remain closed.
The Hindu further mentioned that many of these airports are jointly used by airlines and the Indian Air Force.
