Meanwhile, the Delhi airport on Monday said their operations are currently smooth but some flight schedules and security checkpoint processing time might be affected. Around 100 flights to and from Delhi airport were cancelled on Sunday.

On Saturday, India and Pakistan reached an understanding to stop all firings and military actions on land, air and sea with immediate effect.

Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) operates the national capital's Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), which is the busiest airport in the country.
