The ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated since yesterday (February 26, 2019). Both sides have confirmed air-to-air combat in the northern part of the subcontinent.

As a result, a lot of flights have been impacted.

Several airports have been closed indefinitely. This includes but is not limited to – Amritsar, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Islamabad, Jammu, Lahore, Srinagar. If you are travelling to and from any of these airports, it is likely your flight has been cancelled.

Significant airspace appears to have been blocked as seen by Flightradar

Also affected are international operations that use this airspace. If you are flying from / to northern subcontinent airports to / from Middle East, it is likely your flight has been delayed.

PS: This is a developing story. I fully understand war is a sensitive topic and lives are lost. My objective is only to inform readers about commercial flights. No other assumption should be drawn.
