With the Republic Day celebrations nearing, Delhi International Airport has issued an important notice affecting flight operations. From January 19 to January 26, 2024, there will be a temporary suspension of both arrivals and departures of flights at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, with the no-fly period extending from 10:20 am to 12:45 pm IST each day.
"In view of Republic Day celebrations, no flights will arrive or depart from Delhi Airport between 10:20 am and 12:45 pm IST from January 19 to January 26, 2024," Delhi International Airport said in a tweet.
These restrictions are a part of the security and ceremonial arrangements for the Republic Day festivities. This may cause some inconvenience but it is to ensure the smooth conduct of national celebrations. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for updated flight schedules and plan their airport arrival accordingly, keeping in mind the stipulated no-operation hours.
A Notice to Airman (NOTAM) has been issued to the Airport Authority of India stating restrictions from 6 am to 9 pm between January 26 and 29, with a complete flight halt on Republic Day from 6 am to 9 pm.
But for NOTAM, operations of the Indian Air Force (IAF), Border Security Force (BSF), Army aviation helicopters, and state-owned aircraft/helicopters flying with the Governor/Chief Minister of a state will not be affected.
The 75th Republic Day celebrations on January 26, 2024, will feature French President Emmanuel Macron as the honored guest, marking the sixth instance of a French leader participating in Republic Day festivities.
