Hindon Airport has announced the cancellation of several morning flights between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM from October 6 to 8, due to a full dress rehearsal for the Indian Air Force’s Foundation Day, celebrated on October 8. This year marks the return of the celebrations after a three-year hiatus, necessitating the temporary closure of airspace at the airport, which has seen increased operations with the introduction of major carriers like Air India Express and Indigo. The cancellations affect flights connecting key cities such as Bengaluru, Varanasi, and Chennai. This event underscores the Indian Air Force’s growing prominence and the strategic importance of Hindon Airport in supporting national defense operations, reflecting India’s commitment to bolstering its aerial capabilities.
