MONTREAL — Air Canada has activated its flexible rebooking policy for Delhi flights today, May 8, amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan.

More information for Air Canada passengers can be found here.

The update comes as India suspends flight operations from several airports, and airlines in India suspend flights from more than two dozen airports across northern and western regions of the country.

In advisories to passengers, domestic airlines said their flights will remain suspended until Saturday from airports including Amritsar in northern Punjab and Srinagar in India-controlled Kashmir, bordering Pakistan.

Indigo, the country’s biggest domestic carrier, on Wednesday canceled 165 flights, while Air India and Air India Express had a similar number of cancellations. Air India even diverted two of its international flights enroute from Amritsar, close to Lahore, to New Delhi, because of the sudden closure of the airport.

India and Pakistan are teetering on the edge of a fresh military crisis after New Delhi launched missile strikes inside Pakistani territory Wednesday.
