The 32 airports are now available for civil aircraft operations with immediate effect, the Airports Authority of India said in a statement.

Pakistan's airport authority fully reopened its airspace on Saturday.

India's top airlines, IndiGo, said it will progressively commence operations on previously closed routes.
